Hi Jimmy I can tell you so far the engine is obviously heavier than 912uls but honestly there is no comparison what I have experienced so far similar if not same fuel burn as 912 but need to do a few more longer trips, smoother running bucket loads more power when you want it quieter than 912 I bolted the engine on had required test flight as required here then flew to the bush pilot champs and cleaned it up so plan performs above expectations but will post more data as I have it had to ground it until i had cowlings completed was getting to many complaints from above

I see you previously had a 912S on the plane. I would like to hear what the performance differences are comparing the Viking 130 to the 912S, please keep us posted on that if you would.
