Jabiru J400 comparison to late model Cessna C172
Kitplanes magazine
(July 2003) says:
“Although the J400 may be smaller than a
Cessna 172, it will lift the same load off a shorter runway. It climbs more
steeply, goes faster, handles more responsively and lands shorter. It also
costs less than half as much.”
