Wouldn't an engine swap out like this put the aircraft back into phase 1 flight test for 5 hours? How can he take a passenger with him?

Sounds like Jan has flown the Viking/Sonex!

This installation is the new one with the VW adapter plate on the VW Sonex mount. When I did my measurements, it was based on the Jabiru mount and no adapter plate and interfered with the fuel tray. From the picture, it looks like the engine is pushed forward quite a bit, hence why it now clears the...

Hey Kipp, that offer good for Colorado too?
I've stepped away from building for two months. The weathers finally good and I'm spending too much time working on the cars and hiking with the dogs.
I need someone to come kick some enthusiasm back into plane building.

Just got a notice today to send a 50% deposit on my Viking Engine for an August delivery. I guess Jan didn't notice the two other letters I've sent him to cancel my order and refund my deposit. I am interested in how the Onex Viking will shake out. I guess I'll just say I'm waiting for that, then ma...

I'll be going through Ohio... 8-) In 39.7 more hours, you'll be ready for OSH...! My goal is to park next to you this year! :lol:...

I think before anyone considers placing an order for a Viking, one do more research than I did on how he treats his customers. There is absolutely zero support for his Subaru customers. If they invested in his motor, they are now on their own. How will you feel if in two or three years you need serv...

I just mirrored the standard latch to the left side.
