Jabiru UL
The Jabiru UL was developed
earlier this year to meet the FAI European Microlight definition
which requires a MTOW of 450kg, 65km/hour stall speeds and maximum 2
seats.The existing Jabiru SK was modified by increasing the wing
span by 1372mm to 9398mm and by a consequent increase in the
fuselage boom length 610mm to an overall length of 5640mm. The SK's
lower ventral fin has been reduced in size and the flaps have been
extended by 1830mm overall. This has resulted in an aircraft which
has a low 35 knot stall speed, short takeoff performance, almost motorglider glider ration (17:1 {with engine at idle} - Yes! it can
be thermalled!), and exceptional economy. It will cross country
cruise at 100kts on 15 litres/hour but when operated around 70kts
returns 7.5 litres/hour! That's over 8.5hrs endurance!
The Jabiru comes complete with
everything except paint, upholstery and radio – it includes VFR
instruments, upholstery patterns and even a battery purchase order
for your local Century/Yuasa distributor. The kit build time is
typically 600 hours from start to finish. Everything has been
thought of right down to resin mixing cups, mixing sticks,
applicators and brushes.
