I am a little bit torn,
CASA publish their update with this little snippet 'CASA acknowledges that Jabiru has enjoyed a good reputation for manufacturing safe and reliable engines, and that most Jabiru-manufactured engines continue to operate safely and reliably, in Australia and abroad.'
we all know the quality of a lot of the CASA people involved in this sort of debacle.
however having been involved a little with Jab engines I would not be sending my gran or kids up in a Jab powered aircraft either.
I believe that had Jabiru been a lot more informative over the years with the various defects that have occurred then things might be better now.
I have experienced relatively new cyl heads requiring valves recut due to slight warping, cyl head temp appears very crucial. the leaky induction tubes that have an o-ring and large quantity's of goop probably play a part too. their bottom end appears unbreakable, electric system a bit ho hum.
I wish them luck
