Anyone considering a Viking engine please be advised,
I have had $4,300 deposit since Oct 28th and payment in full since May 8th and still haven't seen my engine yet.
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.

I can see what attracted you to this engine - really impressive technical page.

Hell, Dan, knowing you as I do, I'd have hung up on you too!....Just
kidding. Maybe there was a technical problem with his phone? It
happens sometimes, ya know.

Stanton's engine is scheduled to go out this week. The engine is for a CH-701 and not a KitFox. At least the invoice indicate this. If you look at the Vikingaircraftengine web site / Zenith, you will find pictures of our own 701 installation. It is an attempt to help everyone installing the engine in the 701 and similar aircraft. This was done the last week. Nobody is sitting around doing nothing here. We work hard. This first batch of engines have taken much longer than expected, between design, prototyping, flight testing, documentation, sales and installations, we have had our hands full. However, this is easing up now when production has been streamlined, no more changes are being made and we are focusing on assembly, sales, service and continued flying. All I can say is that we have an outstanding product and that it takes huge effort to deliver it at the cost we do. I am also sorry about the delays and that we will work on reducing / eliminating them.

I know Dan, and he IS putting the engine in a 701. I think that the
reason his complaint ended up on the Kitfox forum is that it was a
convenient place to blow off some steam...at least that's my
observation/opinion.

It was to let as many guys know as I can.
I don't even know if he has a kit fox installation available.
