Re: Viking engines
I'd be a little leery of any product whose website doesn't list the price anywhere, just the required deposit. As a rule, I don't sign blank checks.

Re: Viking engines
I think you would be a lab rat until this engine gets a few years on it without any major issues. Look at all the issues Jabiru had for a while. Any support services and parts may be hard to come by. No support network or knowledge base for mechanic's and owners.

Re: Viking engines
Thanks. When I followed the links to Engine Packages and Instructions, all I got were the deposit amount and Firewall Forward Kit prices. Apparently, you have to make them think you're placing an order before they will tell you how much.CharlieTango wrote:The total price of this engine is $11,995.00.
In any case, it is certainly competitively priced. Will be anxious to see some pireps.
