New to this site and x air Hanumans and Jabirus etc
|
Hi Geoff and x air enthusiasts!
Hope this message finds everyone well and all is keeping safe through these uncertain times. I have been reading certain posts regarding the x air Hanuman. Geoff, you are quite the story teller and I have learned lots already. I am near Alliston Ontario, near Mansfield Aerodrome and I may be able to buy a 2009 x air Hanuman with Jabiru 2200 and 140 hours total on plane and motor for 18,000$ CDN. Is this a good deal? Original owner and he kept the plane always inside and it looks pretty good if you ask me. This will be my first plane purchase and am hoping you can provide me some guidance. My dream is to drive my truck 6 mins to Mansfield Aerodrome, take off on grass and land in Parry sound on Lorimer lake to visit my parents with amphibious floats. I don't have the money to swap the Jabiru right now for a Rotax, although I may be able to in a few years but I hear guys flying the Jabiru with floats with no issue. What have you heard? What make and model.puddle jumper floats or amphibious floats will this plane accept? No one can provide this specific information to me and I can't find what I exactly need to remove the wheels and install brackets and floats. Are you able to help me in this manner? Also, is this a decent plane for me? I am big time interested in stol and bush flying for fishing and hunting. I hope I can run shell 91 or shell 93 on this Jabiru 2200? Any other Information is greatly appreciated as I may be buying this within the week or so. Looking forward to hearing from you or anyone else with guidance to give me, Justin ? |
开云体育Historically, Jabiru has been reluctant to give advice on the use of Mogas in ?their engines. I was advised privately to use 100ll on every fourth refuelling. Then subsequently advised to use 25% 100ll in every refuelling. ?There is a subtle difference between these two gems of advice! ??I am out of the dealership loop now, and have no idea as to current usage. (Mogas = motor fuel, 100ll= Aviation gasoline). ? Are you aware of the tests you can do with a test tube and a measured amount of water, to check for Ethanol in Mogas? Mo Davies.

I am not aware of this test - how does it work and what do I need to buy to complete this?
I am not particularly concerned with ethanol content, but rather detonation differences between using MoGas shell 91 or 93 versus paying 40% for AvGas that is nowhere near me. I would have to drive 40km in a different direction, only to fill 5, 20litre Cana if AvGas, then drive back to the grass field and put it in the Hanuman.? From a liability point of view, it is not surprising how Jabiru does not cover or advise MoGas to be used - not even any additives, which is another topic is like to introduce. Why can't I purchase good quality shell 91 or 93 MoGas, and then add good quality octane booster with an additional dose of seafoam, to preserve the fuel as it may sit for a couple weeks? I have used many small and big motors, two stroke and four stroke gasoline and Diesel engines, but never airplane motors.? Is there really a difference - am I missing something or is it the liability disclaimers that have me all caught up in a knot?? In essence, I don't see how any problems would arise, knowing these Jabiru 2200 motors are about 8.1:1 compression ratio, using 91 or 93 shell MoGas, with seafoam additive to preserve and offer some better lubricity??

开云体育My understanding with the Jabiru is that it must have 100 AVGAS most of the time to avoid premature wear. The best source however would be to contact the factory directly, just email them and ask and they will give you officially the latest informationMo Davies via groups.io wrote on

Chris, You may list me as a professional reference for the following: Thoro Organic Ranch: Crew Chief, responsible for documentation of farm labor and resources, daily management of day workers in English and Spanish, and member of the planning committee. 2005 to 2010. Chris Guzman Foundation, Event Planner, responsible for all charitable events, including but not limited to Hispanic Health Awareness Fairs, Senior Centers Events, Charitable Soup Kitchens,etc. (you fill in the many events I left out). 2007 to 2013. That is all I can attribute to our professional relationship, which was substantial. Beside our professional relationship, you were a friend, and excellent travel companion on several world and national trips.
