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).

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 ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 02:23:10 PM PST US From: "David Joyce" Subject: Re: Europa-List: Viking Aircraft engine 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!

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.
