Rotor Arms
These must be checked/ replaced every 100hours. Some types can work loose on the spindle and cause noisy radios, misfires or a mashed distributor! These are frequently glued in place with a blob of Silicone.

We have seen 6 cylinder engines working at low RPM's for economy cruise. The end result is semi-glazing of bores. Ideally cruise should happen in a Jabiru around 70-75% power this with the Jabiru Prop equates to around 2750-2800RPM.

Regulator
Mount it in a cool location! There is a school of thought that mounting it at 90º to 'normal' installation (ie with fins running vertically) might help cooling by using natural convection.

Rose Joints
These need to be regularly lubricated. I've used spray grease to good effect, but too much can make a bit of a mess. Pay particular attention to every ball link for straightness and movement at full travel.
