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.

The soul feel only with a radial. Beautiful aircraft
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.
Living the dream. I love the quality of your work! And that Verner radial is the icing on the cake.
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
Awesome build kudos. :o)
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
Beautiful bird!
What an exciting video!!!
Sounds marvelous, flying over!
Nice airplane! I wonder if it be possible to fit export Hawk 75 style spats to the fixed landing gear?
Very nice! Greetings from Linz Austria 🇦🇹 Europe!
YOOnkers and WAHcoh ;-) but I'm very excited to see Verner continuing to grow and I hope to be in the market for one soon
Junkers is pronounced yunkers
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.
We're definitely looking into that!
I was hoping 'Timber Tiger' might have been there with the S5 Ryan... Must not be finished yet.
I emailed them several weeks ago had interest in buying a tiger did not get a reply
Looking forward to the release of these kits. Even though these are smaller scale, they look the part and have their own thing going instead of looking like a scaled down fighter. I love it.
What is the fuel consumption per hour on cruising settings? I'd say on 50% and 75% for example.
I wish I would have seen it while I was at SnF. Beautiful little airplane.
Sounds good ❤
Looks great, especially in the air. Apart from the gear being down, it looked like the real thing and it sounds so wonderful too. A lot of fun I suspect ✌️👍😊
High praise from Steve, congrats on a good design and build.
Very neat little aircraft. I'm wondering that this aircraft has any storage compartment? I mean for a smaller or midsized duffle bag for example, in what a man can carry his stuffs for a week holiday?
its not grafity fed
Nice build
Put your website link in the video description to make it easier for someone to look your business up
I love the engine sound... Sounds like a WWII P-36 !!! Beautiful Skypark also nice runway !
Damn, I thought I was watching RC models. There's people in them there planes!
Nice work
Hey is there any update about the 50% b-17
Low control forces 😢
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?
Sounds great with that radial.
cool aircraft
Fantastic! couldn't make it to SnF this year but will try to drop in on you this fall.
First! Great looking bird, do you have a web site?
Thanks for the ride Sir.....beautiful ship. Great vis over the nose...wow. Well done. God bless ya
Slap a small block Chevy on her and she’d make one heck of a Warhawk.
What is the fuel burn on the 9S?
it's called a check list . Might be a good idea to have for a new airplane.
That thing gets after it
This guy is 69 or 70 years old in this video? I guess aviation is the fountain of youth! Amazing!
How about building a Seversky P-35 in polished aluminum finish now?
This plane is gorgeous!
The bird is so awesome! That last shot of it sitting on the ramp with all the lights on looked really great! What aircraft is next on your agenda?
The man is a great salesman that's for sure. Now I want one too... LOL
That’s a beautiful airplane!
Please don't try that with metal. Your vise is squishing the part as you take away support material. Part will become loose and get thrown. Try holding material at the bottom and do all the milling above the jaws. Then mill off excess in 2nd setup
What a great little aircraft. Can't wait to see the retract version.
What an awesome perspective. Looks like fun to fly.
