Showcase Live with Jabiru

[@AustNRail]

I own and fly one here in Australia and love mine. Lots of long distance destinations and lots more to come.

Just for the record - the “J230-D” is also the Australian 2-seater, which, under Recreational Aviation Australia registration must stay at just 2 seats and is also limited to 600 kgs (1,320 lbs) MTOW. The identical four-seater is the “J430” (not sure whether the latest version is also a “D” model), but it must be CASA registered (i.e. VH-*** registration), but is then allowed up to about 720 kgs (about 1,580 lbs). Same fuselage, same engine, same wings, but an extra two seats.

I never paid to much attention to this bird because I thought it was over dimensioned and too expensive for the US LSA Market, BUT when the LSA rules change and they allow 4 seaters Jabiru is going to make a killing with this plane

[@bobjohn2000]

I've been saying the same thing. But it needs a bigger engine. 370lbs with full fuel isn't enough for a 4 seater.

[@tonylam9548]

Maybe for 1950, but today, 120HP is under powered for a 4 seater. The 120 HP is also at 3300 RPM which I prefer it to be lower.

Great aircraft for money.

[@EchoKilo]

What is the allowable cargo weight in the rear?

[@beaulong3270]

How much weight for pilots is there with full tanks in light sport?
