I am no fan of the Jabiru airframe and have some reservations about the power plant, even though I fly behind one installed in a Sonex. The Sonex is just one aircraft hit with the ugly stick which performs exceedingly well on low power. So proving an aircraft does not have to be pretty to be effective.
And, despite my reservations about the Jabiru power plant, it is evolving into a reasonably reliable thing.
if this twin gets certified and can be brought to market for under 200 grand, I predict that it will become an all-time best seller.
The potential market is huge.
