| Subject: | Congratulations to Thomas Scherer |
This is to congratulate Thomas on completion of his trip from Germany to Cameroun
in his Europa Classic. It must have been an amazing trip, and I take my hat
off to him.
Having flown in that part of west Africa, I imagine he must have had some tough
negotiation and parted with significant baksheesh enroute (corruption in that
area being of biblical scale).

Bud or anyone,
This seems to be a very nice engine for the Europa, a Viking Honda aircraft engine.
The Viking shop in in Edgewater, FL. Do you know anything about this engine?
It is the Honda 1500 cc, 117 hp, 6300 rpm max, 2.33/1 reduction drive,
fuel injected, liquid cooled, 178 lb dry weight, fully developed package for aircraft
use. The package includes 40A Alternator, Dual Engine controllers, Exhaust
/ Muffler, Air intake, K&N Filter, Starter, Radiator, Oil cooler, fuel
pumps and Engine mounting for your airplane. The engine is fully assembled.
$13,000 Looks like a very good alternative to the Rotax. They haven't yet
but likely to develop retro fitable turbo-charge down the road.
Thanks,
Bill McClellan

Bill, It sounds like a great option, but if you talk to the various folk who
have fitted anything other than a Rotax to a Europa, I guess you will be a
bit wary about being the first one to try it! Regards, David Joyce, G-XSDJ

This engine is being sold by Eggenfeller.........formerly selling the Subaru engine
conversions. Those Subaru engines turned out to be completely unreliable
and downright dangerous. I know nothing about his latest project, the Honda
conversion, but based on his previous engines, I wouldn't trust him. Google his
name and you'll get a real education.
