Before you read this prop test
information about my Viking RV-12, I thought I would inject
my impression of the Viking engine. Take-off is out of this
world. Climb is over 1,000 fpm. You have to be in this plane
to experience the thrill of flying behind the Viking engine. I had a chance to fly the Viking RV N97HV for about four hours the past two days. Warp Drive sent me a high taper prop for testing. It is a 68" diameter ground adjustable. I started with 15 degrees pitch and takeoff roll was a little over 200 ft. Average, 4 way ground speed, was 136.5 mph at an rpm of 5,410 / 4000 ft msl. What an engine. Ron Russ RV-12
