    Verner powered Pietenpol

    The Verner radials use a wet sump oil system. You have to have an oil tank that will hold the full capacity of the oil below the lowest cylinder. The system doesn’t use a scavenge pump as used on most other radials.

    Verner S9 vs Rotec R-3600

    All, Please look at the threads title. This meant to be a conversation about the differences between the two engine and to take perceptions and put facts to them. I’m very glad Verner has come on to show that I was wrong with some of the perceptions of his engine! Later today I’m going to...

    Verner S9 vs Rotec R-3600

    Very true. The engine would be good for an un cowled airplane that didn’t require an electrical system beyond what the engine required. But for anything else it’s a non contender. Also I’d find a replacement for the plastic intake pipes. They kind of went beyond the safety zone in the name...

    Verner S9 vs Rotec R-3600

    I’ve been asked to copy my post over here from my Facebook page. I hope everyone finds this informative. So the other week I did an up close inspection of the Verner Scarlet S9 for a customer of mine. He was considering using this engine in his project and wanted me to develop the firewall...

    Rear Baffle Oil Cooler Lines

    Very interesting! I'm struggling with the same dilemma. The line I would like to make would be firewall forward, but it's not attached to the engine. I'm trying to weigh the pros vs cons of using a hard line. What type of fuel system are you using? Were you able to get rid of the mags and...

    63% Replica F6F Hellcat Build

    [email protected] ask for Alex, he will be able to help you. They don't have a three blade electric prop, but the two blade is plenty of propeller for the Rotec. Once I have mine dialed in they will be able to copy the final form for all Rotec owners. As for the spinner. It's mainly...

    63% Replica F6F Hellcat Build

    I think your project is really awesome! I'm very interested to see the Verner product. So far my Rotec engine is pulling the Radial RV through the air just fine. I'm seeing cruise numbers of 145-150kts indicated, 160kts true. This is all due to the prop though. The GT electric constant...
