“Arion Aircraft has assumed all North American sales and marketing activities for the Jabiru Engine product line at our Shelbyville, Tennessee, location at Shelbyville Municipal Airport [KSYI],” said Nick Otterback, owner of Arion Aircraft. “This complements our existing kit and LSA aircraft manufacturing business. The majority of the nearly 200 kits and LSAs we’ve produced are powered by Jabiru engines,” he continued. “We’re really excited about Jabiru’s new Gen IV engine. I’m pleased that Pete Krotje will be helping out with Jabiru technical support as we transition into the Jabiru business.”
