    What did I just watch? A vlog or a mini documentary on Viking engines. The video quality was excellent. Hearing Jans story is awesome.

    Great video. I REALLY like the human interest piece on Viking. I am not at all surprised Viking would find a way to make what you need work. Just a really impressive story and video. Thanks for posting. I subscribed.

    That 3 cylinder Viking motor install looks so so good and sounds exceptionable for a modern install. I was hoping to see the turbo motor go in. I have worked with the turbo motors before and the amount of torque increase goes beyond the HP numbers. Great work Viking...

    • @aviator
      @aviator  4 роки тому +1

      We’re going to fly off the 40 hours without turbo to start :)

    Oh Eric, I'm so sorry. I've been out of the loop for a couple of years. This is over a year old and I've only just seen it. I too am building a kit plane - similar to the kitfox but slightly bigger. It's a KFA Safari. I've been looking at these Viking engines - but I'm in the UK so getting support here maybe difficult. 18 months on now, can't wait to see how you are finding it. Hope you're well buddy.

    Lot's of force transfer with that big gusset on the lower longerons, you already had a truss, now you have a sheeted truss in effect.

    Went with non-turbo 90 hp. What changed your mind with a turbocharged setup? Cost involved sure. Do like the 3 cylinder 90 horsepower and sounds great. Will keep watching the build.

    • @aviator
      @aviator  4 роки тому +2

      Hoping to add the turbo later after they do some more testing.

    • @randallharmsen5802
      @randallharmsen5802 4 роки тому

      AviatorShow can always add the turbo setup. Like your channel and keep up the great work.

    I like the honda Viking engine boy there are lot of guys out there talk about how he took money from people for the Subaru conversions never shipped the engines. When legal action was taken he filed bankruptcy never refunded anyone.

    1:05, those gussets have holes on the outer edge, not very good workmanship and renders the outer edge a bit pointless.

    Top notch Viking garbage!! Do your research on the crap he’s selling you!!! Could have gotten a 100hp for a lot less money.
