How is an inflight breakup related to engine problems ? One positive thing Jabirus are noted for is their structual strength. This is the first inflight breakup of a Jab that I've ever heard of.
Once when I visited Bundaberg I was fortunate enough to see them being structually tested to destruction in big hydraulic presses with gauges all over the place.Jabaru would be one of the few companies that go to the trouble and expense to thoroughly test aircraft sold in this class.
