President's Message:

EAA

Happy Spring!

As pilots, each flight we take, each landing we make, and each challenge we overcome, shapes us into the aviators we are today.  Let’s strive to set our sights high, knowing that with dedication, perseverance, and a spirit of camaraderie, we can achieve anything we set our minds to.  May your wings be strong, your vision clear, and your spirit unbroken.  Fly high, fly safe, and never stop reaching for new heights!

Peter Whittaker – Jabiru Engine Course Review
In February of this year, I attended an engine course hosted by Arion Aircraft in Shelbyville, TN. This session was aimed at familiarizing previous and new Jabiru engine owners with basic maintenance items which “non-AME” aircraft homebuilders can undertake and gave a good look at the engine “innards”!  This also covered evolution of Jabiru engines from Generation 1 thru 4 and the reasons behind the origins of Jabiru engines based in Bundaberg, Australia. This engine meshed well with my interest in an aircraft engine for my first scratch-built Zenith 601 HDS rather than modified automotive engines or the classic Lycoming or Continental engines. I’ll review some of my experiences with the generation-3 J3300 in my 601 HDS and how things are proceeding with the generation-4 J3300 in my current 750 Cruzer project. Jabiru 3300 Generation 4 delivered and upside down, now the fun begins!

This Month’s Question:

QuestionYou’re preflighting your airplane, and realize that you have not checked your ELT in a long time. The battery was replaced just under two years ago, but hasn’t been tested since. Is there some way you can test the device without triggering a search and rescue event to ensure it still works properly?
