On Wednesday 4th June we visited the Rotec engines factory in Mordialloc. There we were given a tour of the factory & a talk from Paul Chernikeeff on the origins and early days of their business.
Rotec produce 7 & 9 cylinder radial engines for the ultralight market. These are 2.8 & 3.6 litre engines.
Below are a few shots of their factory & the engines. Please look in the gallery section for more photos.
Our thanks to our hosts, Paul and Matt Chernikeeff. It was a great evening.
