I am starting a Highlander in the next few weeks, waiting for delivery as I wright. I have a Jab 3300 to put in it. If any one has put one in a highlander I would like pix and all the info you can give of the install. I also am putting an MGL Odyssey or Voyager in the panel. If anyone has done this I would like all the info you can share. If any one has done both all the pix and info you would like to share would be terrific and help make my install easier.

Bob,
I just received an Enigma, so I haven't
started the install yet. Any input on required
electrical components that you might be
aware of, will be greatly appreciated
for me.
I'm using a 912 Rotax...
Good Luck!

There are many things that happen really fast when you are
flying an airplane. There is no sense in rushing any of the others.
I would much rather be looking down at the runway, than up at it.

Matt, at the Stratomaster company has always been very helpful to us for any installation questions. He was our installation "manual"!Johnny C! wrote:Bob,

jab 3300
I really like the 3300, lots of power, I'm swinging a big prop 68x38 good cruse, climb is ok to. I have flown with the rotax 912, it's a good choice as well. Just what ever you perfer.

You have put together a beautiful aircraft. Love the paint scheme.
A few questions, if you don't mind:
Are you able to achieve the 110 mph "indicated" that is claimed by JustAircraft (or better yet, exceed it)?
One of the things that I have read about the 912 Vs. the 3300 is that higher true air speeds, at altittude, are acheivable with the 3300. Have you found that to be the case?
How does the STOL performance compare to the Rotax 912S?

3300
I have to say that the 912 gets off the ground faster, burns less fuel. It has it's good points and bad as does the 3300.
I am able to achieve the 110 mph "indicated" at 2850 RPM and sucking the fuel. I stay right at 2600 RPM and 100 indicated. That's burning about 5 gallons per hour. ( av gas,,, bad point) I really like the engine so far. It's queit and sounds like a merlin
( good point) I was flying Saturday, 90 deg. full of fuel climbed to 5000 ft, no problems with over heating at all, none, ZERO! And it didn't take me long to get there either!
I am swinging a big prop so my stol performance could be better. It's not bad now but it could be better, I could change the prop. I might just do that! I look forward to flying it every day.
Steve designed the paint scheme, now their's a guy with real talent!! He wanted to see me sweat painting that baby!! LOL
Thanks for the kind words.

Thanks for the additional photos
Gary,
I appreciate the response. I have always been a fan of the 3300. Primarily because of the great machine work (especially out ot billet aluminum). Air cooled, relatively light weight per HP. I don't think it can be beat.
The additional photos ar great. Thanks.
The Highlander first caught my eye in a youtube video of Steve Henry landing on a mountain top in Idaho. I would bet he has sold a few of them for JustAircraft.
Thanks again,
Mike

It'd be better if it was "easily" Turboed... Somebody should do it,Dirtbos wrote:Any engine can be "tuboed". The individual parts are available in the aftermarket.Dave Krall CFII SEL SES wrote:Can the 3300 be Turboed?
The real question is, will it live?
There are books galore on the subject. It can be done with a lot of study.
Do you want to be the first one?
I'm busy enough with this T-Suzuki.
