Hi everyone.
I am looking at buying a Jabiru. Can any one tell me where/who can service it for me once I have done so?

KFA, Morph, Thanks for the advice. I think I will be a good idea to check everthing out thouroughly before I start or even fly with it again. Although Phalaborwa is not that humid, we do have some acidity in the air thanks to the nearby copper mine. Authority to Fly looks a little further now, but I...

Thanx for the advice Biggles!
Looks like I will be in the air again shortly

Since then, basicly a year past that I was unable to attend to or fly my aircraft. :oops: Unfortunately I have not stored the engine in the manner presc...

Thanks Morph, will do so.

Hi All I, once again, need to tap into the vast knowledgebase of this forum. Hopefully as I gain experience, I can soon help someone else in the same way. I have recently upgraded my Icom radio with a Vertex 300 Standard and sended my Buzzcom intercom in for a service and conversion for the new radi...

Nice work. Looks (and works) great!!

Yes, I have the run-in sheet , I spoke to the clever guys that do this alot and by the looks of it Kobus's advice is spot on. Will try to spray water on the radiators in order to keep the temperature at bay. Will let you know how things turn out. Thanks for the advice.
