Hello,

My name is Mr. Michael Mccarthy, I have contacted you before without any response from you. Please replied if you receive this message. I have something very important to discuss with you, I have a vital information to give you. Could you please get back to me on (mmichaelmccarthy4@gmail.com ) for full details.

Michael Mccarthy.

Patrick:

Thank you for the information about Viking 130 shutoff. The check list was also very useful. I will probably steal both from you but not without a thank you.

Could I pick your brain sometime about Phase I testing and preparation.

My email is terrencehallo@hotmail.com.

Hi Patrick

the fairings worked out well

way too time consuming to make them myself

purchased them from Jeff Garrett on the forum

needed to fill some pinholes and prime and paint them

pop riveted them in with washers under the head of the rivets

use a heat gun to get them to conform to your wing/flap area BEFORE

painting.

Quite satisfied

Dave

my brother and I built a CH 750 STOL with aViking 130 and a three bladed (68") Whirlwind prop and we are just 4.5 hours into our flights tests and wishing for better weather here in Maryland.

I saw the 19 Oct data that Jan posted from your static engine run and wondered what prop pitch was used...

I also saw that you are "playing with Viking's data logging tool." I am not familiar with that... Could you point me in the right direction?

Thanks, Bill Cooper

Hello Patrick,

you are a good thing ahead of us regarding the Viking engine,
so I can ask you something maybe.

1) What is the distance from propeller shaft to the ground and
2) do you use a nose wheel spacer

3) what is your propeller diameter

Thank for your efforts in advance and maybe I can also throw a
stone in your garden (german saying)

Have a nice Sunday and best regards

Franz

Hi Patrick,

maybe you remember my mail about our nearly same time maidenflight.

In this day I was looking the Viking engine  Forum and what did I found?
Patrick Hoyt is redesign the engine of his plane. I and my friend will visit
Viking next week, take a look to the engine and discuss technical issues
with Jan. I´m very sure that we will buy a Viking engine for our Zodiak 605 XLs.
I´m hoping firmly that we are both very satisfied with the engine and the
support  from Jan.

Have a good time and greeting from Germany
Franz

What's the altitude of the field you fly out of?  Maybe it's the guys near sea level that are having to make them richer.. Do you think it's a factor?

Patrick, are you running a MA3-SPA carb?  Did you have any issue with it being too lean?

I open up the jet a couple thou and will be putting it back together tomorrow.
