Squawk7700,
You say that you own a Jabiru and reckon that it's a great aircraft.
"PS I own a Jabiru and think it's a great aircraft, however the "for" arguments I hear about the engines and perceived airframe safety are laughable at best."
(I've only had one flight in a Jabiru, owned by a friend at YGAW. And from the right hand seat. I found the aircraft to be easy to fly and very stable. The centre stick was a new thing for me. But the aircraft is completely benign, if flown within its operating parameters.)
I'm clearly missing something here??
So how do you dare fly your Jabiru with what you know?
