If the Jab is not properly cooled, it will destroy itself quite quickly. It really needs two temp guahes, and initially, constant temperature checks. Mo.

Hi All, Greetings from the US.? I recently purchased my first plane, a 2007 X-air H. I am in the process of bringing it up to snuff, but resources for the plane are scant here. There is a fair amount of clean up and I think the prop that's on it is wrong, but I need to do a bit more digging on that. The little Jabiru may not be breathing well. I'm sure I'll be posting about that shortly :)
The biggest problem I'm having is that of aileron control. Specifically, when flying above about 66kts the plane is less stable than I feel it should be, tossing to the side off and on. At or below 65kts it will fly hands-off, but getting up to about 70kts or more, it requires constant vigilance and substantial correction any time the wind blows it even a tiny bit.
Otherwise, the plane feels great, with good, tight rudder response and gentle characteristics.?
I feel like this is abnormal for this plane, based on what I've read, but I've never flown any others.?
Can anyone offer any insight or suggestions as to what to check or adjust? Are there any other resources online you guys can point me towards to help me along my journey?
I'm sure I'll have lots of questions, and I appreciate everyone's help.
