First flight of Charles CH-750 CruZer by Viking Aircraft Engines

I really appreciate your videos. All the hard work has paid off in a successful business, loving family, and friends across the country. Congrats. I should be turning the blades on my Viking 130 in August, if all goes right.

Looking forward to the day you guys fly up to Puyallup WA for my first flight! Might be Alaska Airlines…😂

The community of Viking engine owners are so lucky to have you and Allyssa. I wonder if they appreciate just how unusual/unprecedented in the aviation community you two are. An engine supplier doing first flights for customers has probably never happened in the history of aviation. I'm not a Viking owner so my vote doesn't count but - I honestly, I wish you wouldn't do first flights. I feel you are too important to the experimental aircraft community as a whole to risk losing you in this manner.

Thank you, it is more risky test flying our new engines than something like this. We go through the aircraft carefully and the engine and get it setup to keep another customer safer than they may have been otherwise. I'm more concerned these days going on the road and driving a car lol.
