The hens are finally coming home to roost. Gearbox drive related failures are starting as expected,
and there will be more, other parts will break as he vainly beafs up
piecemeal and does not deal with the problem.
Hopefully nobody gets hurt (again).

Update needed to those that have completed the Viking Flywheel Change Today a CH-701 made an off airport landing in California due to a failed flywheel drive part. The airplane is damaged but the pilot made a the best landing possible and is not hurt.
The batch of parts distributed are therefore recalled and a heavier duty part will be supplied free of charge.
Viking will also update all 130 engines free of charge. Even though there has never been a failure, we do not take any chances.
The part already in use on the 190 hp turbo engine will be used and has considerably testing already completed. It will fit the 110 and 130 engines directly
Anyone that have a part like this picture should contact Samantha(at)Vikingaircraftengines.com (Samantha(at)Vikingaircraftengines.com) for your free replacement part.

This is the replacement turbo drive plate. It is heavier but many times stronger

Viking will take swift action to rectify the problem with this heavy duty part.
