If anyone has future questions, call Potomac Clearance and ask 'em directly. Tel numbers were in that course Slide 1 (faasafety.gov)

Call me, those are my old floats.

One seam... I would bet that it has the previously mentioned tape and will seal up a bit once wet. 5200 is good, there is another product I...

I have an opportunity to pickup a pair of EDO 2000s locally at a seemingly reasonable price point. They have not been used or “tested” in a number...

Lakes patrol yesterday. Gull is over half open with lots of Bufflehead duck rafts coming through.

Right off the bat, it's not a geared engine, so the reliability goes way up in many ways. I wouldn't be at all worried about it, personally. JH

From everything I've gathered, talking to people who have them, Verner and Rotec are at the opposite ends of the dependability spectrum. I've yet to...

If their TBO times are half of a Lycoming's and their price is half of a Lycoming.....I don't see an issue. The cost per hour would be the same....

Ya, TBO is about my biggest question and dislike. But the cost is such that 1000hr tbo is almost doable. The question I have is what is rebuild cost?...

Is this Verner radial engine a new product? I never heard of it before reading this thread. Does anyone else remember the Rotec radial? It was...

I think your talking about the Rotec? Glenn

Warners are a great compact time tested power package. Too bad someone hasn't CNCed a new copy of them Glenn

Had 2 guys by me try Rotec Radials. Both were not satisfied with the advertised HP. Sent one engine back on warranty but new one was the same. They...

Ya, he started with a Rotec then recently installed the Verner right?

Haha!! I had better not know _everything_ about her. Sent from my iPhone using SuperCub.Org

The poor man’s hellcat that Capt Cub was referencing is a very cool cat. https://youtu.be/1HdqLQEpZoA?si=Lmz3HovmTaBhZEiJ Sent from my...

The Rotec if I recall was tried by a few builders with negative results of the engine and the company support. I have no personal experience, so...
