That was very impressive Scott, with the way it started as soon as the mags were fired up. With temperature control, I presume that the oil temperature is used? I think that a Porsche would be the same.
Unfortunatelly the reliability issues about Rotec have nothing to see with rumors. I do own two of these so called "engines" (R2800). No part is spared by huge basic misconception flaws. Have a look at the Rotec "engineers" videos showing their assembly process, also pay attention to the background of the videos showing their workshop and equipments. I am redesigning a whole new engine as I will never leave the ground again behind such a crap, even If I still have one brand new Rotec sitting in its crate. To say, even the crates are made the wrong way! You want to stay alive ? Stay away from Rotec, even a rubber bande engine would be less dangerous. Ha, I forgot to write about the legendary "customer service" provided by the "factory". They started by building model aircrafts engines, sad they moved on bigger ones, sad for their disapointed customers. The TBO of a Rotec is nearby zero hours has deep flaws are hidden everywhere, ready to give you a nice engine failure.... Make a table with it, it would keep you away from an accident or worse...
Tony from Classic Aero Machining Service (CAMS) in NZ is building single valve rotary engines. Price and convenience aside, it's a Camel; if the rotaries are available...why go Regretec?
What a beautiful engines..
Yes they are!

Geezz Rowdy that is awsome you don't recon I'm looking forward to this one I have acouple of Mokis I can't beat that one. Thanks
Should be fun this one, a little bit daunting but hey. Cheers Ken
Hey Scott, have you seen the videos of builders reporting reliability problems with the Rotec engine?
Yes I have seen a couple of videos. Two sides to every story though. I also fly a Jabiru engine!
Was one of the videos this one?

It doesn’t paint Rotec in a positive light.
Fly safe 👍

Did you have a Rotec engine?
Looking good! When do you get it?
Next week thanks
@@scottmatthews5280 Will you be at the Avalon air show this week?
Hi Scott I’m really looking forward to this build but I thought you were getting a nine cylinder engine or is that to big
110hp 7 cylinder is what others have used cheers
@@scottmatthews5280 no worries thanks for replying thanks mate. Hope it all goes well for you.
Thank you
