Fuel consumption is nearly identical between the Jabiru and my
618 although some of our customers are using up to 18 liters per hour on
there 618's ?? - (they probably need to be set up a bit better).
?
Better in which way? I
get about 16.5 L/h at 60Kts, 18 at 65Kts and over 20 at 70Kts, but that should
be normal??
I can also stay aloft on
8.5L/Hr too!
I am sure if someone could come up with some sort of engine fairing
for these engines that better consumption figures could be acheived.
If you look at the size of say the Jabiru hanging out the front and
imagine the wind resistance..... it must have a big effect
