The Latest with Verner Motor at Sun n Fun '24
This video focuses on what's been going on with the Verner radial engines during our time at Sun n Fun.
This year we've got Radial Conversions' Brian Kelly with his striking RV-8R, the front end of Steve Wolf's P-47 project, and of course our P-36 Litefighter, all in our display booth and each with a Verner. Additionally Junkers unveiled their latest creation sporting a Verner 7-cylinder and we had a brief appearance of Steve Wolf's Samson Mite during the week as well.
It was great to see and hear all the radials on display at the show. It seems round engines never go out of style.

    There is an Australian company that makes a Chevy LS based V-12 that would probably be a perfect engine for a P-40 variant.

    Wow, does that prop rotation look WEIRD! I know it's due to the frame rate vs the engine speed, but I've never seen it THAT BAD on plane videos before.

    This is great! My uncle was 2nd Lt John Dains of the 47th Pursuit Squadron, 15th Pursuit group based at Wheeler/Haleiwa. He got airborn on December 7th and shot down the first Japanese aircraft. He flew both the P-40 and P-36 that day. Unfortunately, he was killed by friendly fire while trying to land back at Wheeler in his P-36 alongside the others from the 47th. He would have been proud to see this creation, I'm sure. Best of luck sir

    I was at Loves Landing when Steve flew your aircraft and you were putting his engine into your trailer to go down to SnF. The sound your engine made on the flypast was awesome. I wish you every success with your project. Regards from South Africa.

    Did you ever consider designing and building a 100% scale replica of the small Curtiss-Wright CW-21 interceptor? It was a light weight fighter design with a high climb rate. It had some (limited) success against Japanese fighters in the Dutch East Indies in 1942. With better training and preparation of the Dutch pilots it would have fared even better... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curtiss-Wright_CW-21

    since it's fixed gear, why not build a set of wheel pants and call it a Hawk 75, which is basically a P-36 with fixed gear. There is only one remaining Hawk 75, and it is in the Thai Air Force museum in Bangkok.

    What is the fuel consumption per hour on cruising settings? I'd say on 50% and 75% for example.

    I can't wait to see the retractable undercarriage one! A paintscheme tribute to Phil Rasmussen's P-36 would be awesome, he shot down a Zero over Pearl Harbor on 7th of December, 1941. I love the place too, a very nice little landing strip, real backyard airstrip. What would be the range of this little aircraft? Where are the fueltank (or tanks, if they are in the wings), and how much fuel can be stored?
