Ran into some discrepancies while installing the new steel bungee today (very impressed with the powder coated springs!) - after getting the side straps and center assembly situated, it looks like the center screw and spring is significantly…
Has anyone put a Viking engine on a Van's RV-7 model? Interested in the outcome, performance and obstacles. Traditionally they only use Lycoming type engines. Very curious about a Van's/Viking combo. Please weigh in here if you…
Does anyone know or have a picture or video of the coolant 4psi system upgrade install. Mainly wanting to see exactly where and what size hole to drill for bleeding the system according to the store website information?
I am wanting some insight on how we might be able to create a vent line. We are currently building a 750 with the 130 and mini header tank. The video we have is the older one where there is a return line T-off from the pum back into the inlet…
Hello, new member here and I just have hopefully a simple question. I have the chance to purchase a Viking 110 at a really reasonable price for what is included. I know this model has been dicontinued and some of the mandatory upgrades have…

"A lot happening at Viking - a RV12 showed up for an Annual Condition Inspection after being purchased with a Viking 110 and we are getting her ready to fly. More information on that later! Today a Searey showed up for the Viking 130 installation and…"
"Hello, the O200 in weight is actually slightly heavier than the Viking 130, the 90 HP is substantially lighter and it produces 420 lbs of thrust. We are currently installing the 90 HP on 2 Sonex. There will be more information next week."
"I remember Viking posting videos of the 130 model on a plane and the plane connected to a scale and showing thrust at full throttle. Can you do that with the 90 hp engine also? I have seen thrust tests on the O-200 and would like to have something t…"
