Well done! Viking is the most underrated company in aviation. You guys are making flying much more attainable. EAA really needs to give you all some more attention. Keep up the great work!

Just learned about this today. Quite interesting! Love Japanese engineering. 90hp and no carb put this on my list with the rotax 912is

Great overall showing of your 90 hp motor. I like how you have built options into your install ( motor mount heights and cab heat ) package. To me this Viking Motor package is ready to install and guess work needed.

Here in the UK virtually every engine fitted to a experimental aircraft is a Rotax 912 or a two stroke. I dont know the price of the Viking unit but I imagine it to be quite cheaper to the Rotax 912 and with the bonus of having fuel injection as well. Viking I think your missing out on a big market here in the UK, may be not having a dealer here to answer questions or to showcase the engine. Maybe the BMAA or the LAA.

Very cool to see you using a 3A92 for aircraft. If you ever want to swap setup details or turbo info hit me up! 😎

Seeing that I live in Africa, is it possible to purchase all ancilliaries excluding the core to save on shipping costs, the core being able to be sourced locally?

Do this with a new ford 2.3 mustang motor. 310 horse power would be awesome for some bigger experimental planes, especially the 4 place Vans and Sling kits.

I'm still working through the video, but being impatient, let me ask a question. How bad is the vibration level of this three banger, both on the prop and on the body of the aircraft?
@eggenfellner4 жыл бұрын
It is actually much smoother than initially thought (being a 3 cylinder) slightly more vibration than the Honda, all smoother than traditional engines by far. IT becomes noticeable only in a smaller aluminum aircraft like the Zenith 701, but a Kitfox with steel tubing, don't notice it at all.

cost, all up weight, reduction radio,? Does it come fully ready to install or does the buyer have to create/assemble the wiring looms, etc etc

Does anybody know who the original manufacturer is...perhaps Honda ? what model is it?

Hey Andrew, our 90 HP Engine is a 3 cylinder Mitsubishi engine, we have more about that on our website as well.

You build a very beautiful engine. I'd like to get one someday. Will your 180 fit a Vans RV-10?
@eggenfellner5 жыл бұрын
The 180 is only 180 at max rpm for a STOL type of plane. We have started to market it as a 170 hp engine at the RPM more normally used. It would be too small for the RV-10

Are the cylinders Nikasil coated? Are the con rods and crank forged? TIA.

What does this engine weigh compared to the Viking 130? Also, did this engine come directly from manufacturer (crate engine)?
@eggenfellner Жыл бұрын
It weighs the same as a Rotax 912, power between the 80-100. They are all from cars with little to some miles depending. Same as our other models.
@percussion444 ай бұрын
Mitsubishi claims 79 BHP at 6000 rpm for this engine. 90 HP might be a little optimistic. Rotax claims 100 HP at 5800 rpm from its 1.3 liter 912ULS. Without seeing a dyno of either of these engines these are probably all "hopeful" claims. Maybe at sea level on a cold Alaska morning with a dense air charge and a benevolent deity smiling down on the test. Maybe.
@eggenfellner4 ай бұрын
We do dyno work on every engine and change some variables on the engine as well. This engine has been around for over 5 years and makes the 90 Hp as advertised

No loom around the wires?? Harness looks like a 5 year old put it together.
@eggenfellner5 ай бұрын
Bet you are fun at parties. The loom on this engine doesn’t happen until we are done. All get loomed with high temp loom and all the harnesses are done professionally with the correct sensors and tefcell wire. Hope you have a better day.
