I should say right off that I think the Jabiru 2200 is the best aircraft engine for Light Sport airplanes being built today.  I've just put 50 hours on my new engine - it runs like a sewing machine and sips fuel.  I replaced the 15 year old 2200 with almost 400 hours on it just because I could afford to and wanted all the updates they've made over the years - the old engine is in perfect condition and I can't tell any real difference in flying between them.  It would be nice if it put out 100 HP instead of 85.  Having said that, I find it troubling that Jabiru isn't making any effort to sell the engine in the US market.  The rumor mill on this engine has been rampant for years with lots of unfounded talk about problems - ignoring that other manufacturers face the same problems at the same or greater numbers.

133 lbs.  You can put what ever is your favorite prop on it.

I'm currently flying it with a Sensenich Composite Ground Adjustable 62 inch prop.
