| Welcome to the boards Marcus. Since I am based out of KGIF I may have to buzz over one day just to say hello. I fly a Lightning LS-1 so I am a fan of the Jabby engine. Have a great time in Oshkosh, I will make it there one of these years. |

| That's a great question. We chose these 2 planes because in reality they don't compete with eachother. They both have different characteristics that the other doesn't have. We consider the Jabiru to be more of a cross country plane. Being a 4-place in australia it has a much bigger storage capacity with that 3rd door as well as a larger gas tank. It also cruises much faster. It's a little heavier on the stick than the Remos. The remos is more of the sporty plane that is very responsive on the stick and lands so easily. We use the Remo's in our flight school because of that. If you have any other questions please feel free to let me know. We just had a gentleman purchase a Jabiru demonstrator that we will have on the ramp in a couple weeks. |
