This video was filmed on location at a hands-on workshop style seminar provided by the technicians at JabiruUSA. The purpose of the seminar was to train those aircraft builders that have purchased Jabiru engines how to properly install their firewall forward components.  The Zodiac CH 601 and STOL aircraft were used as the classroom demonstration examples for the engine installation.
Presented by HomebuiltHELP.com, this affordable DVD video is nearly 2.5 hours in length and is divided into various video chapters to make navigation and review of desired sections fast and easy.  Click here for more info and to order a copy.
