I called Jan today and he hung up on me and all I got after that was voice mail. I don't think that I would be ordering an engine from him. -------- Do not archive Dan Stanton N801S CH 801 N226BS CH701 Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=345507#345507 ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 11:13:59 PM PST US Subject: Zenith-List: Re: Viking From: "Stevenco" Seems like the person knocking a wonderful experiment in finding a new engine and making it work in LSA's is upset. The person complaining must have believed as many do that it would work wonderfully and be half the price of the Rotax. He also knew that this was a new project for a business dedicated to finding a reasonable option. Personal diatribes against the experimental community, businesses and people who honestly work in it really aren't necessary. The complainer did agreed to the experiment when they placed the deposit and made the order for an engine that's never truly been tested in many aircraft before. What's really changed? The facts are that some of the engines are late because of design updates and ones so far in aircraft run well. Delay is also well known function of the experimental market. Some people will be upset with delay but most won't. We can always grow up and pay for the Bombardier if we want well tested engines now. Honda thought the engine was worth selling, and on the track it simply screams while holding up under vicious conditions. It also has the the same reliability on the water. So far it looks like the experiment is working, and working well. Time will tell. I for one hope it works well and Jan makes a few bucks on his dedication to the experimental community. Patience Prudence. You can ask in writing to get your money back instead of backbiting. I'd bet you would get a check. A quote from ADM Rickover is in order.
