Somebody made the statement:  "Why would somebody buy a Jabiru over a Rotex?"



The answer is simple "money".  Over on this side of the pool the 914 cost 38,000 USD when I ordered my Jabiru.  The Jabiru only cost me 18,700 USD firewall forward.  For the extra 10,000 USD I was able to install a Garmin 430W, MGL Voyager, TruFlight servos.  



I can afford to chase the heating/cooling problems.  John Lawton is a great source of information.  I may have to make modifications once I start flying, but I feel  good about the money I have saved.  Sure I may wished for a 914, but I just could not bring myself to spent that amount of money on engine.



Looking forward to chasing the gremlins.
