    KOLB Mark III Project - Phoenix AZ $8500

    Send me a PM. The original posting above has photos and details. The builder was quite elderly and not in great health.

    KOLB Mark III Project - Phoenix AZ $8500

    Anyone like to comment on Vikings new muffler ?

    Thanks for stepping in on this. Perhaps you could also explain why you are so willing to die by flying with a Viking 130 engine. That is the often stated speculation that continues to be made and permitted yet again on this thread. This thread already shows that personal attacks continue to...

    Here we go...Synergy still NO FLY and lighter...

    Sorry, but having read this twice, I don't have a clue as to what you are actually trying to say. Lots of innuendo / blame and technical (sort of) language but no real substance. Mostly looks like your position is that the present situation is the fault of everyone else.

    Honda Viking L15 Torque Dampeners

    From what I have seen via several owner/operator produced YT videos, these two parts are accessible in less than 10 minutes. With thanks for the insight, both parts can be easily checked at annual. The "giubo", or so called damper part, is an every five years $195 replacement part. Nothing...

    Here we go...Synergy still NO FLY and lighter...

    I posted a reference to the dismissal of John McGinnis to the YT video of the new 1/6 scale RC Model produced by 3DAeroadventures. It was promptly deleted. I posted again. There are already the usual gushing comments from viewers who are obviously uninformed and being kept that way...

    Here are just the last two such Claims from DBT Aero: (1) The results, are unprecedented business opportunities in new untapped markets. (2) The Synergy Technology Platform has been validated using advanced computer modeling, flying scale aircraft and flight simulation. Guessing that DBT Aero...

    Here we go...Synergy still NO FLY and lighter...

    I exchanged a few emails with John McGinnis over the past many years. McGinnis always refused to accept outside investment and gave reasons to the tune of "this design is so amazing and transformative that we cannot risk losing any control." Then a decade later, DBT Aero comes along and...

    Charges Filed Against Trevor Jacob

    YouTuber agrees to plead guilty to federal charge after intentionally crashing his plane for online views, DOJ says https://edition.cnn.com/2023/05/11/us/trevor-jacob-youtuber-plead-guilty-federal-charge/index.html The article misses some of the finer details such as the fire extinguisher up...

    Learning to fly

    Feel free to contact me via PM, if you think I can be of any further assistance. I have helped others with their simulator build, one of whom contacted me from the AOPA forum. We worked long distance via Skype and Email to settle on both hardware and software choices. Later, the owner put...

    Learning to fly

    All the critics of simulation will rightly tell you that realism in a desktop simulator will never match the real aircraft. There are compromises for sure. But todays hardware and software is exceptionally immersive. All depends on your budget. Even on the lower end, now there are very...

    S-21 Firewall forward: Aeromomentum or Viking

    Gosh...here comes again..."a cover for Jan or Alissa". You can't think of something new to write?? This allegation has been launched since I joined HBA. I live in the USA Territory of Guam. I am 72 years old and have enjoyed and continue to enjoy a very successful professional career as a...

    S-21 Firewall forward: Aeromomentum or Viking

    Search HBA using "Viking" and then "Aeromomentum" as a search term. Give the time to read those long and multiple threads on both engines and you will gain a broader perspective. Same goes for the Zenith forum where there is a dedicated section for each of these engines. This comparison was...

    I know ULs don't require a pilot's license, but...

    "Then you cant pay him either." Yes you can -- according to the law and the article from AOPA. Any experimental including a former 2 seat UL that was properly brought in as a registered aircraft can be used for training by the owner. The CFI can be hired. But no one can get...

    I know ULs don't require a pilot's license, but...

    YOUR OWN or a BORROWED AIRCRAFT. I assumed readers would read the AOPA article for details. Based on HBA posts, getting a LODA for an E-AB was reasonably smooth. What are the "LOT of hoops" that you refer too. I have a CFI friend who wants to instruct in his E-AB. The legislation...

    E-AB (Experimental Amateur Built) aircraft can now be used for flight training. The LODA requirement was reversed in December last year. https://www.aopa.org/news-and-media/all-news/2022/december/27/faa-loda-requirement-eliminated

    Viking and aeromomentum

    Argument by naming some wild and extreme negative possible but not factual outcome is not persuasive. Fully applicable to other engines as well. I was sent details on two engine out episodes with Aeromomentum engines sold to overseas customers. This venting and teeth gnashing about...

    Non- Biased Engine Reviews -Viking

    The results clearly show this to be an extreme and exaggerated negative assessment. Comments elsewhere about "lives lost" are just meant to disparage Viking. Facts say otherwise. Almost all the negative comments are personality or Subaru based. Plenty of happy customers to show that if Jan...
