    G3X

    You can control the AP directly using the G3X Touch displays, but either the 305 or the 307 is required when using the older and less expensive non-touch G3X displays (GDU 370, GDU 375).

    Jabiru 3300 reliability?

    aanderson81, I own a 2010 J230-SP with 450 hrs. on it. Overall, I would say that my experience with the 3300 engine has been "mixed." Unfortunately, I don't have time right now to go into details. I'll PM and email you my telephone number. If you are interested in talking about my...

    Ultralights, Experimentals and LSA's

    Take a look at a Jabiru J230. It's not a STOL bird like the CH 750... takeoff distance over a 50' obstacle is 1166 ft. and landing over a 50' obstacle is 1755 feet..., but it has a huge luggage area that can carry 250 lbs.

    Liberty University in Virginia

    The undergraduate program at the University of Virginia is in aerospace engineering. In addition, their graduate business school (Darden) offers certificate programs in corporate aviation in cooperation with the National Business Aviation Association. I don't think they offer any flight...

    Need help registering on the vansairforce forum

    Nope, definitely not a robot! I'm a 55 year-old out of shape Sport Pilot who owns and flies a Jabiru J230 around New England as much as the weather and family/work demands allow.

    Sonex Down at OSH, Two Confirmed Fatalities

    Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of earth, And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings; Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun-split clouds - and done a hundred things You have not dreamed of - wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence. Hovering...

    Nice to Meet You All - 20 Hour Student

    Welcome! I began my flight training two years ago after my wife gave me one of those "Discovery Flight Certificates" for my 52nd birthday. Now, two years later, I am the proud owner of a 2010 Jabiru J230, a twenty-year aircraft loan, a hangar lease, and more! This is how my wife often feels...

    Improving the perception of Sport Pilots and LSAs

    While driving to the office this morning, I asked myself this question: "What can I do, as one individual Sport Pilot, to improve the sometimes negative perceptions of the Sport Pilot Certificate and the light-sport aircraft we fly?" Then it struck me. The next time I radio the tower for...

    Sport Pilot rentals with medical required?

    Sorry. I missed the sarcasm entirely. It's also my first day back at work after vacation; I guess I'm grumpier than I thought. :redface:

    Sport Pilot rentals with medical required?

    Capt. Thorpe, Your "simple fact" is simply not based on facts. LSAs are not "falling from the sky" and LSA accidents due to medical issues that would have been detected by a flight surgeon haven't just been statistically insignificant... there haven't been any. Before you make blanket...
