I've wanted a Bellanca Super Viking since I discovered flying as a serious option in my life. It's been 8 months of shopping and now I have one. Lucky me, it is based in my town.

I lined up a CFI who can check me out in it and train me for my high performance and complex ratings.

Yeah baby.

Once I organize the hangar and all that jazz there will be a couch in there.
 
Congrats, and a proper airplane to boot
 
Very nice! I looked really hard at the Super Vike when I was looking.
 
Love the accent color! Nice plane.
 
Sweet! Congrats.

Make sure you call Terminix. ;)

You'll love it, fast planes and fun to fly.​
 
congrats, looks nice!!

so were u able to get insurance without having the complex/HP endorsement?
 
Nice aircraft, quite the speedy bird!
 
Nice let’s see some more pics
 
Nice. I was not expecting this thread to have a cool plane

That is an awful, dreadful example of an airplane. I will fly it to the junk yard for you. Just give me the keys. And the logbooks. And sign the registration form over to me. I'll take care of everything.

I wont insure it until I obtain the hours they demand first. They want 10 hours with instructor and 10 hours solo before theyll insure it.

I can get that done in a few weeks.

I think this is different than what I'm asking though.....you had insurance when u bought the plane, no? the 25 hours was just a requirement before u could carry pax. I'm asking the OP if he was able to get ANY insurance on a complex/hp plane WITHOUT a comp/hp endorsement. and I think what he's saying is he bought the plane and is going to fly it with no insurance.

That's taking quite a risk. I'd insure it now. Granted, you won't be covered if you cheat and fly it solo without meeting their requirements which is probably so many hours with a CFI who has so many hours in model. I certainly wouldn't take the risk having it uninsured just so you can delay making your first premium payment for a few weeks

That's what he said.

"I wont insure it until I obtain the hours they demand first. They want 10 hours with instructor and 10 hours solo before theyll insure it. I can get that done in a few weeks." Them not insuring it at all until he has 10 hours solo doesn't pass the logic check. I think it's probably 10 solo before he can have pax. Check on that @Daniel L
 
From on Super Viking owner to another: Congratulations!

I havent insured it yet because I wont be flying it until at least a month from now.

I definitely wont go without insurance if I dont have to.

I had insurance that covered the plane as long as I was getting 25 hrs dual instruction. I couldn’t solo or carry passengers w/o the 25 hrs first. I didn’t have a complex prior to buying the 210.
 
Daniel, your plane is a beauty... even it it's not of the triple-tail variety. Please plan on a trip to KSBP and I will buy you lunch!
 
Super Vikings have a place in my heart. I almost bought one last year but I fell on a mint V35B Bonanza that I have full access to. I decided I don't need a super Viking if I have a Doctor Killer in my hangar.
 
Ohhhh.. nice!

Since your first long ass cross country in it will be Rough River Dam 2019, you can give us all a ride
