I can see what attracted you to this engine - really impressive technical page.

Hell, Dan, knowing you as I do, I'd have hung up on you too!....Just
kidding. Maybe there was a technical problem with his phone? It
happens sometimes, ya know.

That is not good news, Dan. I'm sorry to hear about it, but it seems a
familiar story. Other than web site hype I found it difficult to find much
"user" information about this engine. Looks nice, with lots of computer
generated photos on the web site. Maybe a trip to Edgewater FL to have a
close look at the factory might glean some information? Good luck and
please keep us all posted on your progress.

I think he might have done that, Deke, but not sure.
Hey, are you going to Ojibwa tomorrow? PIC's eat free...steak for
b'fast....and it's a great little grass strip. Just right for
Kitfoxes....no matter what the first 4 letters of their engines may
be.....unless it ends with an "x" that is. : )

Dan, I believe I would ask for refund immediately. If that didn't happen I'd
show up at the Viking booth in Oshkosh and camp out at their display with
anti Viking signs and info until it did. That is, if they are displaying at
Oshkosh this year.
