Placed on order a Jabiru 3300 and complete firewall forward kit for my STOL 750. Made a few changes to the standard kit, including the Sensenich ground-adjustable prop, optional tachometer pick-up and cabin heat. The folks at jabiru USA in Shelbyville were great. They had a quote prepared within one day and were quick to answer all my questions. Should arrive in three weeks.

Although the components are slightly different it is basically same as the 601 FWF kit. Jabiru provides a 68" Sensenich Wood prop with the kit I forget what the pitch is. Same as what the factory is using. Talked to Roger a few weeks again and he said that CHT and EGT were looking good. He gave me the numbers but I for get now. Also 90 MPH cruise and climbing around 800 fpm. I didn't ask him about weather conditions, but it would have had to be recently and the temps in central Missouri like here have been in the mid 80's to mid 90's.
They are still testing so these numbers may change some by the time they're done tweaking.

Thanks, Donnie. Jabiru provides a prop with the FWF, or was this from Zenith? What prop is it?

Oh and if you already have your engine like I did remember to mention it. You can send in your airducts and trade them for the ones that fit this FWF.

How much is the firewall forward kit? Their web site doesn't say and my finance company wants it.

Hi Russ. Just starting my 750 project and am really interested in Jab3300 for the plane. Do you have performance data with this power plant?

Thanx Vic
