Building a Jabiru J400 from a first-time builder's perspective

Actual Performance

Instead of doing rigorous performance tests, I will just post new figures as things settle. With cooling issues initially, I wasn't able to do them anyway. These figures below are actual figures and not theoretical. I will post more as new ones come up.

• Cruise Speed
  • 130kts, 6000 ft, 5.5 gph
• Actual Endurance Flight
  • 6:30 hrs actual at roughly 4.9 gph
• Climb
  • w/ 170 lbs pilot and half fuel
    • 800 fpm at 8000 ft
    • 600 fpm at 10000 ft
• G's Pulled
