Jabiru to Rotax Change Over - ZK LPD
I recently have had an engine failure in my Jabiru powered Alpi Pioneer 300 and have decided to write about my experience.
My story starts around June in 2014 when I was thinking about upgrading my Skyranger Swift microlight to get something slightly faster to fly down to Rangiora to see my children and grandchildren. After looking on Trade Me, I embarked on a road trip that took me down to Bluff and as far north as Matamata looking at various aircraft that might have been better suited for regular trips down South. Every microlight I looked at, had for one reason or another not appealed to me, but with limited funds I was limited in what I could realistically afford.
