A Viking engine in a Kitfox maybe sooner then you think!

The Retail price for the Rotax engine is not as quoted...

Currently the Rotax 912ULS is $18219.00

18 219$ +HD electric starter, slipper clutch, alternator and air filter...

John have you try the Viking engine yet?

[jdmcbean]

Not plus.. the $18219 inlcudes the HD Starter, slipper clutch and alternator. Airfilter depends on if you are using an airbox or not.

John, have you try the Viking engine yet?

No we have not.. still waiting to receive the engine. Supposed to be shipping on the 5th. Even then it will be awhile.. we do most of our development in the fall/winter.

Thank's for taking the time to reply John, so we won't hear for this kit before next spring I assume?

You get what you pay for.

For those that are considering the Viking, go here: http://www.vansairforce.com/communit...ghlight=viking and scroll to post #17. This is FIRST HAND info not passed through a marketing machine. This type of customer service seems to be a very long-standing pattern with this company.

There are always 2 sides to these stories. First is always a difficult situation to be in.

Talk to people with Eggenfelter Subarus.

Looking through my pics, found this angle too on the Viking.
I like the generator and oil filter out in the open
