I have a used Jabiru 3300 tri gear mount I'd be willing to horse trade. And a used horizontal split universal cowl. Message me if interested.

Hi TJ. I have a brand new 3300 engine mount, tail dragger, still in the factory plastic, an untouched universal cowl, and a nose cone for a 3300. I've elected to build a Corvair engine, would be happy to see this stuff go cheap.

TJay:

I had a concern when ordering my kit as to what my options were if I changed my engine selection at a later date (something I may still do once it is time for the engine). The email-answer from Mark Schaible at Sonex was as follows:

"We do offer configuration exchanges for original kit owners. Customer pays all shipping costs and there is a $50 configuration exchange restocking fee: http://www.sonexaircraft.com/eshop/cart ... fig_change "

So, if you are the original plans/kit owner, this is also an option for you.

Regards,

Doug

Hi Gordon,

I would be very interested in the motor mount for sure and maybe even the cowl.
