J250-SP
This aircraft is the 4 place Jabiru 450 with the rear seats removed and the gross weight labelled at 1320lbs to meet LSA standards rather than the 1540 lbs of the J450. If there is a roomier LSA on the market, I can't find it! Click here to view J250-SP specs, performance and pricing on the Jabiru USA web site. Snapshots below.

Always wanted glass? Shown here with optional dual EFIS, Garmin SL40 com, Garmin GTX327 txpr.
J170-SP
The J170 is the J160, long used in Australian flight schools, with a longer wing for higher density altitudes and, let's face it, large Americans. This aircraft has a nearly 700lb useful load! Designed as a Cessna 150 replacement, it has the same landing gear as the 4 place J450. It is 4 cylinder, sips fuel and, like the 6 cylinder J250, many maintenance consumables such as spark plugs, oil filters, etc. are available in auto parts stores. We eagerly anticipate the December arrival of a J170 for the flight school at Martin Airfield.

Roomy cockpit- note the optional dual stick. It looks a little unusual but great for dual instruction. Standard panel shown. Glass panel is available.
The guy in the photo isn't me but I'm 6' 2" and have no problem fitting in. George, the sales manager at Jabiru USA is even taller and he slides right in too.
