<p>These pics are from last week's Cowl install process. It didnt have much extra material, but it fits!</p>
<p></p>
<p>I found that I had to push the cowl as far forward as possible for the circumference of the back to be sufficient. I put the spinner inside the front "Ring" and worked from there. I also had to trim the metal at the bottom of the fuselage all the way up to the dzus plates.…</p>

<p>Just a few rivets and filler and the cowl is done.</p> Viking 90 Coolant hose connectiontag:zenith.aero,2019-07-15:2606393:Topic:6841682019-07-15T00:31:03.637ZBrad Paynehttps://zenith.aero/profile/BradPayne
<p>Im having a tough time fitting the coolant hose to the top mounting point on the engine behind the gearbox. (see image attached) I'm told it will fit, however the tube has a sidewall of .205" and the clearance between the pipe and the back of the gearbox is .158" as best I can measure. That's .047" SMALLER then the clearance needed BEFORE the thickness of the clamp is added.</p>

<p>Despite this, I have managed to soap up the pipe with dish soap and get it most of the way on, but…</p>

<p></p>
<p>Despite this, I have managed to soap up the pipe with dish soap and get it most of the way on, but there is no room for a clamp. I've tried soaping up the gap between the pipe and the gearbox so that I can rotate the tube, then take a standard hose clamp, open it fully, and Spin the tube with the clamp squeezed between the gearbox and the hose but its just not going. There is no more room to squeeze anything else in that .158" gap.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Anyone else with the 90 run into this? The only thing I can think to do is loosen up the gearbox bolt, attach the hose, then tighten up the gearbox again and hope for the best.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Any ideas are welcome!</p>

<p></p> How are you monitoring your Viking?tag:zenith.aero,2019-05-22:2606393:Topic:6775242019-05-22T22:38:04.397ZBrad Paynehttps://zenith.aero/profile/BradPayne
<p>I just purchased a Viking 90 and will be updating my panel at the same time as the engine installation.</p>
<p></p>
<p>What EMS you use or how do you monitor your Viking? Does the ECU interface with the CANBUS on any of the EMS Systems? </p>
<p></p>
<p>Looking at either the Viking EMS (But then how do I setup HOBBS meter?) or a MGL Xtreme EMS with either connection to Viking CANBUS if possible or a RDAC XF.</p>

<p>Any information on how you have setup your EMS is…</p>

<p>CH-701 engine now a reality</p>

<p>Viking does not own every aircraft under the sun. We do have a 90 hp engine flying in a 701 lookalike, however these videos show the engine tested in a different aircraft. The Video is not intended to demonstrate the aircraft, but rather the Viking 90's suitability in a CH-701 and also for the CH-601 HD or HDS…</p>
