Just a brief update on the Jab 2200:
The engine now has a 100 hours on it. The only problem that I have had to date was having to replace the left magneto drive shaft gasket due to a minor oil leak. My inflight CHT and EGT's all run well within limits. However, due to the tightly cowled engine, the CHT ground operating limits (302 degrees F) can be easily exceeded. Even at my uncontrolled field with virtually no traffic, I have to boogie to get off the ground without exceeding those temp limits. The engine is very straight forward to work on. I cruise at the midpoint of the cruise rpm range (2950 rpm) with a typical fuel flow of 4.2 gph. The upper and lower cruise fuel flow range is from 3.6 to 4.8 gph. I flight plan for 105KIAS but depending on loading and cruise rpm, it will cruise from 100 to 112KIAS. It is a very smooth running engine.
I am looking forward to taking my first long cross country flight in the -12 in September.
I edited post #2 to reflect changes in the updated EW of the aircraft.
