Jabiru 2200 SK

I have built and flown a Jab 470SP for 550 hours and have now got a Jab 430 ( 4seater). They are excellent aircraft. Couple of comments about the 2200SK. The MTOW is 430kg. This means they are ideal for 1 pob and full fuel. If you have 2 pob you will have to trade fuel to keep within MTOW. Depends on the doughnuts you've been eating!
The aircraft is easy to fly although it has a bit more adverse yaw than you may be used to on a PA28. Short field landing is excellent but a bit of technique is needed in crosswinds to keep rudder and elevator authority OK.
The SK's have been around for a bit so may need a bit of maintenance. That having been said there are some really excellent examples around and for sale at the moment. If you want to talk on the phone contact me on email at peter.c.knightATdsl.pipex.com
