Jabiriu engine failures

[DCASonex]

Is Camit taking advantage of some loophole to produce knock off Jabirus? In the US, I doubt that would be tolerated.

At Chris's suggestion I am posting this reply a second time since the first did not appear on the RSS digest:
**************
It is my understanding that Ian Bent was in at the early development of the Jabiru engine and shares ownership of the design. Jabiru has not been shy about objecting to the use of non Jabiru parts on their engines, but I have not seen anything from them challenging CAMit's right to make and sell parts or entire engines.

There was recently a post on the Jabiru engine forum with an article by Arthur Marcell for a local Australian magazine that has much more background info on both CAMit, and their new engine. The article is a bit long to post here, but can be found on the Jabiru Yahoo forum under the heading --- The Camit Aero engine (Arthur Marcel).

The following is the link to that on the Jabiru forum. Worth a look. If you cannot access that, e-mail me.
