> I seem to recall Richard Shirley is running a J3300 in his KR1 without
any problems. 

That's said too lightly . . . no problem with it causing any trouble with
being "too much power" or anything like that . . . but he does have to
run at reduced throttle in cruise to keep temps under control.  

I suspect there's more to be said by him about the subject of "without
any problems."  

Paul Hanson, Chapter 14 has rebuilt his Jab twice that I know of.  He's
had engine failures in flight (Tailwind) and seats come unglued and
numerous other problems.  He has not a good word to say about that
engine.  He finally sold the plane and the engine at a loss.  Of course,
I rarely hear of anyone ever making a profit with these Experimentals.

I expect that link to get mangled in transit so if anyone wants to see a
biplane version of a Tailwind Google "Spirit of Flight Offshoot".  Very
unusual and interesting conversion.   

Paul's accident:

Endless troubles with the Jabaru 3300 basically discouraged Paul from
flying any more, that and age.    

My very uninformed impression of them is that they are beautiful to look
at but are overpriced and unpredictable.
