This from the first customer SC to fly in the UK:
I flew the Sportcruiser a week ago and was pleasantly surprised, the power from the Rotax was more than adequate, I wasn't able to properly asses the climb but seem to be better than 800 fpm, however, the cruise was good at an honest 115 knots, that's at 4800 rpm (75%) and take off from concrete was - into 10-12 mph wind - about 100 meters.
As far as I know there are two 3300 jab SC's in the build, one in the North Midlands and the other South of London, will be interesting to see what the benefit turns out to be!.
I quite liked the look of the SC but am not a fan of the Rotax although in certain airframes there seemed to be little difference between the 912S and the 3300, as Joe says above will be interesting to see what the difference is. Joe flew behind a Jabiru 2200 before.
