<p>Hello Dan. I'm happy that you're happy. Hehe. I'd like to be too but I hear conflicting testimony regarding weight. Since, as far as I can tell, you may be the most experienced 701/viking guy out there; how about it. What is your empty weight? Everything looks good to me about this engine but I just don't want to lose more useful load than necessary. <br/><br/></p>
<p>Thanks</p>

<p>Jan' s previous business was building Subaru engines for aircraft. I guess there were some issues where he pissed some people off with product and deposits. Viking is a new business, and from everything I've seen it is being run extremely well and competently.</p>

<p>I've got a 2013 Viking ready to install in the 601 XL I'm building. I should be bolting it up in the next month. I could not be happier with the service and support I received from Viking. The engine and FWF package was delivered exactly when promised and the engine its self is a work of art. The engine package and welding on the mounts is all first rate. I think Viking is doing everything they can do to correct and avoid the previous business mistakes. I have not flown the engine yet, but…</p>

<p> It sure is nice to have real heat in the cabin, it is running just fine.</p>
<p>Still have to use engine heater in this cold weather, but nothing new there.</p>
