Has anyone installed the 150 HP in a Zenith yet?    I am curious if you used the factory cowl, or a Viking Cowl, or ?

If so, pictures would be appreciated.

Thanks.

The Viking YouTube Channel has two that I found and also a seven video series on the installation.

For specifics on installation numbers and customers you can call the Viking shop.   They will know exactly.

-1- CH750 STOL -   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cO7BKWRgIuk

and  Flight Performance numbers after installation - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vCiiQlOShTc

Viking does a very good job on their videos.   I bet there will start to be some builders out there who will choose to use that engine for their Zenith builds. (full disclosure I am very familiar with the R18 engine). 

Thank you for the links!

Hey Charlie, we have about 50 out there with the Viking 150s now on Zeniths. I don't think anyone has done their own cowling as of yet, but most want the kit we supply. As stated above, most of the videos show the cowling. Here is one setup shown from the recent Zenith Homecoming doing demos.  

Thanks Jan,

Hope to hear from the folks using this 1.8L engine on the Weight and Balance numbers. Just guessing/hoping that these numbers turn out well.
