• Some excerpts taken from Bellanca Owners Website:

  • "The absolute best thing about the Viking is the handling. Giuseppe and Enzo (Ferrari) must have been brothers. The Viking is the only family airplane that makes you want (and I mean WANT) to roll it. Lazy eight practice pretty rapidly turns into "energetic eight" practice with 30 deg pitch and 60 deg bank simply because the airplane loves it. It has a 90 deg per second roll rate which means legal wingtip to wingtip (120 deg) pretty much as fast as you can move the yoke. Controls are beautifully harmonized, although safely heavy on the elevator. Fly a Viking "hard" VFR and you simply won't be able to forget it."

  • "Maintenance-wise, find a good clean airplane, get a Viking-knowlegeable A&P to do a pre-buy, hangar the airplane and take reasonable care of it and I guarantee you won't have problems. The Viking wing is actually hell for stout. Two spars, fore and aft of laminated spruce that're about 3x7" thick at the wing root! Compare that to an aluminum airplane with a spar of channel-bent 1/16" aluminum and you might never fly a spam-can again."
