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.

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. : ) Lynn Matteson Kitfox IV Speedster, taildragger Jabiru 2200, #2062 Prince prop 64 x 30, P-tip Electroair direct-fire ignition system Rotec TBI-40 injection (sleeved to 36mm) Status: flying with "Ramcharger" intake manifold...1132 hrs (since 3-27-2006) do not archive On Jul 9, 2011, at 7:12 AM, fox5flyer wrote: > > > That is not good news, Dan.

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.
