Hi! Milt/Mike
Respectfully .....how long is it since you bought anything in GBP and
had it to covert to USD ? You are just a tad out currently running at
approx 1.82USD Dollars to the GB Pound. So you are about 10% out and
that is a big margin from where I'm sat. You are very right about making
"apples to apples" comparison though. With the necessity of a radiator
etc. the Rotax has some hidden extras.
Regards

Hi Mike, To get an up-to-date price comparison I suggest you contact
Andy
Sylvester at Suncoast Sportplanes in Florida. E-mail
<andy@suncoastjabiru.com>. Being the Jab dealer, he can quote the exact
prices for the engine and the firewall forward kit. Incidentally, this
new
cowling/kit is really nice, better aesthetically, better cooling,ctc. It
looks very similar to the front end of the Lancair. Being his main
competitor, and located practically next store to a Europa dealer, I'm
sure
that he can quote you "chapter-and-verse", or come awfully close to what
the
Eupopa firewall fwd and Rotax would cost. Or, get on the Europa web
page. I
believe prices are quoted. Just make sure that you convert pounds to
dollars. I believe it's about one to two, One pound equaling two
dollars.
Also,get a list of what is included in each kit and engine package, to
make
sure that you're comparing "apples to apples". Good hunting! Milt Black

Milt,
One item of interest to many of those that might be thinking of an
alternative is price. When all is said and done.....what would be the
typical cost of
a Jabiru 3300 power plant with FWF kit compared to a Rotax 912S power
plant
with FWF kit? Here in the States.
