Re: ZUFDJ Jab J430
Zuluben, my J430 has a MAUW of 760kgs....What changes / special construction did they do to your aircraft to give it a MAUW of 780kgs?ZuluBen wrote:with a MAUW of 780kg.

Re: ZUFDJ Jab J430
Lovely Jab!
A panel shot and run-town of the instrumentation would be interesting, possibly also a short diatribe on how getting an NTCA such as the Jabi, IF rated in Bechuanaland works?ZuluBen wrote:is at present only 1 of 3 IF Rated Jabbies in the world that we know of

Re: ZUFDJ Jab J430
As a comprehensive survival kit (at least 2 cases of beer 
) should be carried in Botswana, they agreed to give me an extra 20 kgs.
Certified instruments, and a recommendation from the factory is all they required.
Interestingly, as CAAB have inspected and approved the Jab factory, you can have the Jab as fully certified, or non certified on the Bots register.
And as Australia has actually certified the Dynon, it means that both my EFIS and Steam guages are thus certified.
Will post a panel pic soon.
