Re: Testing fuel for Ethanol
yes sir. it has a transponder indeed. how about edenvale? or brampton? regardless, we will figure it out. wish me good luck. my mission is to drive from my place 2.1hrs via car to where my partner

Re: Testing fuel for Ethanol
Sure. We could connect at Guelph Airpark sometime- unless you have a transponder…? Geoff Gartshore Zenith CH200 GCUD Waterloo, Ontario

Maybe one day next warm season I can come see you in person with the Hanuman!? ________________________________ Sent: Wednesday, October 20, 2021 5:11:57 PM To: [email protected]

Re: Testing fuel for Ethanol
I flew out of Guelph - paved runways and snow clearing. I have heard of XAirs on skis ((out in Winnipeg) so it’s not impossible. Geoff Gartshore Zenith CH200 GCUD Waterloo, Ontario

Re: Testing fuel for Ethanol
Did you use winter skiis or always have tires even in the winter? I fly off grass so if there is snow, I don't I'll be able to take off and touch down on the

Re: Testing fuel for Ethanol
I flew my XAir year round so no experience with preservatives etc. I turned my prop over several times as part of each pre start checklist. AMEs and engine manufacturers recommend minimum of one

Re: Testing fuel for Ethanol
I ended up buying the 2009 X air Hanuman with the 2nd generation Jabiru 2200 with 139hrs. I did a leakdown test and all cylinders read the same. I put 80psi in and the result was 76psi. I guess

Re: Testing fuel for Ethanol
The gentleman who had his Hanuman with 3/4 tank fuel and two adults also had a ground adjustable prop and oil cooler.put on his Jabiru 2200. Everything else was bone stock and simply followed

Re: Testing fuel for Ethanol
When you have an aircraft flying on floats you want to get the best possible power to weight ratio so you can get off the water quickly. The Rotax does a good job with this because of its geared high

Re: Testing fuel for Ethanol
Moderator, Have you flow a hanuman with Jabiru 2200 on floats? Wondering why this would be a disaster? I've spoke to a.couple people with this set up and they had nothing bad to say about it. Any

Re: Testing fuel for Ethanol
Hello Richard, I agree with your statement in the final sentence. The Jabiru is not the correct choice of engine for the Hanuman airframe. The Rotax 912 in 80 hp configuration runs rings around the

Re: Testing fuel for Ethanol
Hi All These Jabiru motors are a bit of an enigma. Some seem to last well, others just don’t! There’s always been this debate with them as to what fuel to use, all 100 octane Avgas, 95 octane

Re: Testing fuel for Ethanol
My Jabiru 2200 had over 600 hours on it when I sold my XAir and the engine was running flawlessly. I maintained and operated it as per Jabiru maintenance requirements. Cowling had good cooling
By Geoffrey Gartshore · #12194 ·
Re: Testing fuel for Ethanol
It's also important to note the aircraft that are in fact being run with the Jabiru 2200. That influences the performance, if the overall engineering has/had flaws. I.e., the cowling is different on
By Justin Gregoris · #12193 ·
Re: Testing fuel for Ethanol
I would like to agree with this because it would be very comforting but how do you explain all of the failures in Jabiru aircraft built by the factory. They know what they're doing after building many

Re: Testing fuel for Ethanol
From my experience, the reliability of any Jab engine is more affected by the quality of its installation than any other factor. If sufficient care has been taken to get it right, they run. If

Re: Jabiru 2200 reliability
On a seperate note: it is my understanding that the low lead content in 100 octane aviation fuel tries to dissipate and reduce heat more so than using 91 or 93 octane mogas. Is this statement

Re: Testing fuel for Ethanol
The chemistry of ethanol is the same wherever you live. It actually boosts the octane level of petrol fuel by 3 or 4 points, thus is an effective anti knock agent (reducing the chance of detonation).

Re: Jabiru 2200 reliability
It is misunderstanding that twin carbs do increase realibility as in Rotax - it does NOT - this more prone to problems such as if carbs are out sync. Rotax did not put twin carbs in their 4 engie cyl.
