The first Europa has flown in Australia with the six
cylinder Jabiru. The aircraft is owned by Alan Bowden,
Hyland Way, Won Wron, Victoria 3971, Australia, phone +61 3
5189 1373. The Jabiru factory used the aircraft as a guinea
pig, and have developed a firewall forward kit including
everything to get the aircraft flying. The cowling has been
redesigned to suit and is six inches longe than the Rotax
914, making it look sleeker than it already is! They
started off with a Jabiru two blade wooden prop, then
changed to one a coarser one that gave 2700 rpm static at
full throttle and 2900 airborne. Alan is now thinking about
an NSI prop. Flies really well and is very smooth. Three
of us building here in Melbourne are also seriously looking
at this engine and have been down to country Vicotria to see
Alan's plane. Very impressinve. We took some ordinary
photos, and if I can get them scanned will try to put them
on this net. Regards to all. Nigel H-B.
