I called Jan today and he hung up on me and all I got after that was voice

I don't think that I would be ordering an engine from him."

No, it's just a great big sod farm, perfect for PPGs which the owner gave us permission
for... I don't think he'd want a bunch of planes rolling on his grass,
though I have flown in with my Ultrastar.

I have followed the Viking progress for at least a year. This delivery
complaint is just one of many that are likely to be out there. I think
Jan is a victim of his own success and has some real challenges over the
next six months to get the large quantity of engines he has deposits for
out the door. I believe he has 3 =9Cfactory=9D airplanes
flying with the engine and less than a dozen deliveries to first
customers about 2 months ago. Not surprisingly those deliveries were
late from original plans....His business model just doesn=99t seem
to provide for quickly ramping up production to 10 or 20 engines per
mouth or whatever his initial demand is. Even if he wanted to, he
probably couldn=99t find a quality outside engine house to sub
some of the manufacturing to for liability reasons.
Maybe Rotax will buy him out as a threat to their market, conform it,
certify it, and then double the price to that of the 912.

Subject: | Airspeed and Flaps? |
Hello Kolber's,
I enjoy a few hours of Pitch hitter training in a C-180 last week. The
Instructor said not to engage the first notch of flaps above 80kts. That got
me wondering, what air speed do Mark III flyers slow down to before you
deploy your flaps?
Thanks,
Nick Cassara
