As one of the only sources for Simonini info I’m surprised to not see any comments wondering what lead you to swap to another motor and what your thoughts are for others looking at the Simonini for a lower cost, lower weight, 100 hp power plant? Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
Hello , Simonini Victor 2 is a powerful lightweight engine . It allows you to drive big propeller with low fuel burning . The only thing that made me change for the Jabiru is that I love smoothness and sound of the Jabiru . With the Simonini I had big vibrations at low rpm and I definitively not like the sound . More generally I have difficulties to deal with 2 strokes . I find that the Jabiru 2200 85hp is a great power plane for the Avid Flyer . This engine is also lightweight ( exactly the same empty weight as with the Simonini)
Hard to say, I have modified so much; EFI; mapped inductive spark ignition; Airmaster constant speed prop; water cooled heads, dedicated barrel cooling. I have achieved complete control over temperatures with EGT; barrel temps; O2 engine pressures and temps logged and displayed. In the air I have no adjustment apart from throttle with the ECU controlling all corrections, pumps, mixtures. With the Link ECU referencing BAP, not MAP my tune at 300’ is correct at 9,000’ going over the Main Divide here in NZ. My goal was to be able to sit at WOT permanently when required for the big climbs on hot days which I have achieved.
Great video. I fly an Avid "C" model with modified speed wing and Jabiru 2200A in Ohio. Love the Jabiru!
Thank you Ron , I think the Jabiru is a great engine for the Avid , Love the sound ...

Sounds so good
Hello , Jabiru 2200 , 3blades NR-PROP . Best regards
Bonsoir votre Avid est magnifique. Je vous félicite. Je suis également propriétaire d'un MK IV dans le Sud de la France.
Merci ... où êtes vous basé ?

How’s the takeoff and climb performance?

Nice. I fly he same with a Jabiru 2200
Hello , i saw that you have EFI on your Jabiru , what do you think about ,and what are your performances ? best regards

hello , yes big modifications !!!... my Jabiru is not modified , with NR-PROP 3 blades propeller , i was thinking about EFI ..perhaps later ...
👍 super sound, perfekt landing and good look 😀. Did You modify the wingstruts ?
Hello ,Thank you ,the wingstruts are not modified , they are just faired .
