I'm new here so forgive me if this subject has been beaten to death. Can anyone tell me what happened to the 5100? I was thinking that would make one sweet engine for the RV9!- thoughts?

What I've heard is that the demand for the 2200 and the 3300 has the factory so far behind that they have ceased production of the eight cylinder engine until they have the time and capacity to assign to it again.

Since the 3300 and the 2200 have become so popular and Jabiru has only so

much machining capacity, they decided to put the 5100 on hold till they can

keep up with demand on the smaller engines. It is a great running engine and

soooo smoooth.

Hope that answers you question.

Some other have already responded with reasons why Jabiru is not producing 

them at the moment. However, I've seen someone offering a brand new 5100 for 

sale just a few months ago. You may want to try contacting him to see if 

it's still available... See:

I thought the test-bed for the 5100 was an RV-6 but I can't find the

reference.

Yes to all,   the factory had an RV-6 they installed the prototype on, with 

a view to developing a FF kit.   Since then our dollar has appreciated from 

US47c to US83c, and the Lyclones have boomed, spoiling the marketing 

advantage.



I flew the 5100/RV-6, it was very smooth and compared well to my 180/RV-4 in 

power.   I think it is an ideal RV engine if you don't want a CS and 

inverted capability.



The factory is expanding now, but all booked up for the forseeable future 

with the smaller engines.

I have a gut feeling to be cautious about the 5100 until someone else gets

more hours on it. Production was discontinued it is said for capacity

reasons but it has not had a lot of in field development.
