The jabiru is easier to maintain than the rotax. I attended a jabiru workshop in Arizona(USA). there a good and bad about any engine you install. Rotax doesn't allow
you to do anything to their motor. I am not putting down rotax. I am installing a 2200 Jab in my 701. The jab is lighter than the EA-81. jab is 139 lbs complete.
Hi Phil,
No rush ! Thanks for the help. I'll do the same.

Hi Phil,
Did you get the weight and balance data from your plane ? This is one very usefull piece of info. Also, nice to have some pictures so we can see how yours was done. I'll put together infos frm my plane so we can compare.
