Verner radial vs. Rotec radial

[Slyfox]

I agree, leave it the way it is, looks cool. In fact I think your plane looks so cool, it would do havik with these biplane boys that think there airplanes are so cool. Just thinking of what they would think if their type of engine on a little kitfox. I like it.

the take off and landings are a lot of my flying and my kitfox more than fits the bill for me but the low slow menauverability that I have with mine is very impressive.

Touchet! I know what you mean about people horning around fragile things like airplanes especially with unruly kids... and who just don't know any better. Anytime you get the chance, I would love to show you this bird and I would love to see how your airplane performs!

Thanks! I am real happy with the way it turned out.

I myself do not care about looks. It's the performance.

Allbee, I hope you didn’t choose your wife using that philosophy, ouch!

With the amount of flying Joe has done lately, plus with good looks, great performance (based on his numbers) I'd say his plane is the tops.

There are loads of movies up on U-tube of Joe's plane. greaser one wheel landings and all!

Joe, you should ask Rotec if you can have your plane at their booth at Oshkosh this year, I'm sure they'd dig it!

I think ouch to what you said. I don't know about you, but I've been married to my wife for 31 years, and yes I would do it again in a second. She is the most beautiful person in the world, inside and out.

Got a picture you can post, I just want to make sure is all?

As moderator this thread will not continue if personal attacks are posted. Please re-read the guidelines for Kitfox and aviation related posts. Now shake hands you two and lets get back to fun topics. You both have much to contribute that others will benefit from and enjoy reading.

Steve nothing personal going on here.

This is a thread about radial options. Not about how wonderful Allbee's 912 Mk4 is. There are 1000's of those going around and plenty of threads pertaining to that option. I'm sure Allbee's flys just like all the rest of em.

Once on topic I'll check back in.

BTW. Joe, I just checked out your photo album, some great pics there, inspirational buddy!

Paulc , I am ok with people making comparisons on engines, props, avionics ect. and will allow a little ego a bragging into the posts as long as it is in fun however this is what gets my attention quickly:

Allbee, I hope you didn’t choose your wife using that philosophy, ouch!

. Even with a smiley face that seems personal. Now , back to radial engine equipped Kitfox's as they are yet a rarity and quite interesting.

Do you think guy's ,the kitfox with rotec are ok with ski or float???

[Av8r3400]

The Rotec is very heavy and requires the use of a wood prop. Neither are good things on a float plane...
