| The 2 seater Rotec was not completed from the
original owner Arne B.- so he sold it to a man who tried to fly
it, but soon had a motorcut and outlanding with some damage to
the plane. So a modelairplane-builder Lars and his son Willy at
Løten contacted me about the Rotec and I got them in contact with
the owner of the damaged plane. They bought it and repaired
it - and got it on the wings again. With the 35 hp Cuyuna engine
it was sluggish - but they later got a Rotax 503 on it. They also
made skis to it. |
| The bragging advertisment said it cruises at 40-45mph- LIE - it does MAX
35! Same as my single place. |
up:The
2seater after rebuilding- down: my singleseater, both Rotec Rally
| With the slow speed of the Rotec it was too long to
fly from home base at Rena to "big-brother"
Rotec-2seater - ca.50km away, so I had to take it on trailer/car
and set it up there so we could fly together.. Here on set-up at
the other field at LØTEN where Lars Aaseth had a stip by his
home- backgroundpicture. |
| picture below: flying over my grandfathers farm -
12km away from field - upper white arrow where my father was born
and grew up - lower black arrow where my uncle had his farm (then
- now dead). Bigger picture below. View on picture to north. |
| picture below: coming back to landing strip - it
looks VERY small from the distance - it is marked where the white
arrow is below. The bigger field in front was used as a
emergency-landing site. |

STOLplane - short takeoff-and-landing - to hit this small strip after
