The Rotec engines are a nice product, and popular as you can see. Good to have a local factory on the up in tough financial times…

Hadn’t seen that one! 😮 :p

Have a sift through the projects pages and you’ll find a wide variety of projects featuring Rotec engines (various WW1 replicas etc)….

I’ve always loved the looks of the Rata……

Yep, me too. I started to build a control-line model of one many, many years ago but never got it finished. I think it’s that (relatively) massive radial up front and reminds me of some of the inter-war US racers.

I’ve always loved the looks of the Rata. It looks as if it wasn’t a good flyer and fighter -but it was, in its heyday.
