Would you fly far from home with that engine? Is it reliable for bush operations on floats?

Rotec has a nice and seroius sound. I hear it is very dependable and easy to mantain. Is that true?

Yes I have one of these in my homebuilt, 450hrs havent touched it yet. Excellent performance and draws crowds where ever I go. The factory support is good and parts are cheap compared to most others. Most servicable items are off the shelf Automotive filters, plugs, ignition etc. I read that there are now over 500 sold in the USA.

How much of a hole in your wallet did that engine put in your pocket? I've always wondered how much they cost and haven't seen any reliable price from Rotec.

R2800 as seen here is the cheapest bang for buck around $15K usd gets you going! No Rotax 912 can match the price or smile factor!
Rotec Australia bends over backwards to keep you happy!

Does anyone know of a mechanical reason to start this engine without the electric starter? Or were the owners just trying to give the crowd a "realistic" WWI engine start?

Yes they were just demonstrating how easy it was to start by hand. It has electronic ignition on the LHS and a magneto on the RHS. Besides I think the hand propping makes for good theater, dont you think?
