Yep, of course you are quite correct. The aviation community around Aus woke up one sunny morning and decided "today we're going to trash Jabiru" and promptly made up a whole series of bs stories and spread them far and wide. Jab of course has suffered a horrendous run of poor luck and every one that ended up having an unplanned nap in a paddock somewhere, is perfectly justifiable thanks to the bunch of grubby oiks that somehow choose to fly/maintain Jabs and do truly horrible things to make them break, but don't do the same to other types of engines. Or of course one could resort to the good old bush philosopher's position of "if it walks like a duck ....etc".

Interesting how this topic always reads like the playbook from a reputation recovery specialist, with one or two vociferous name-callers trying to throw enough dust into the air so as to obscure a self evident truth.
