Bill, It sounds like a great option, but if you talk to the various folk who
have fitted anything other than a Rotax to a Europa, I guess you will be a
bit wary about being the first one to try it! Regards, David Joyce, G-XSDJ

Bud or anyone,
This seems to be a very nice engine for the Europa, a Viking Honda aircraft
engine. The Viking shop in in Edgewater, FL. Do you know anything about
this engine? It is the Honda 1500 cc, 117 hp, 6300 rpm max, 2.33/1
reduction drive, fuel injected, liquid cooled, 178 lb dry weight, fully
developed package for aircraft use. The package includes 40A Alternator,
Dual Engine controllers, Exhaust / Muffler, Air intake, K&N Filter,
Starter, Radiator, Oil cooler, fuel pumps and Engine mounting for your
airplane. The engine is fully assembled. $13,000 Looks like a very
good alternative to the Rotax. They haven't yet but likely to develop retro
fitable turbo-charge down the road.
Thanks,
Bill McClellan
