Got my hands on the controls of a 701 with a new Viking engine yesterday! Pretty neat!

Sorry for the late reply Mark......I've been teaching the owner how to fly it! He's going for the LS rating. The engine is very smooth and LOTS of power. Has a hard time starting when the OAT is below 60 degrees but I think Viking is going to fix that with a software update to the ECUs. I'm having the owner put a alternator warning light directly in front of him on the panel because if the alternator quits, your running on the battery until it dies. The 701/750 with the Viking is a great combination!
