Tigershark21 Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 It's been a few years since this topic was reviewed. Has anyone got any user-experience with, or seen a Czech Republic Verner Scarlett radial engine operating on any aircraft in Oz? It looks like a good alternative choice to other non-certified air cooled engine configurations. I've heard very little about them. I've only spoken with the manufacturer and one distributor in the USA, but haven't heard from any owners/operators from Australia as yet. I'm interested to see what aircraft they've been adapted to.

pylon500 Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Didn't look or sound like a good day for a test flight, but it definitely leapt off the ground! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facthunter Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Pretty strong headwind by the look of the windsock. Must have stub exhaust pipes by the sound of it. Nev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

facthunter Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Interesting .. I wonder why? Trying to make a successful U/L motor wouldn't be one of the easiest things to do. You would have to love pain to try. Nev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
