Rotec Engineering produced
the Rotec Rally 2 B from about 1980 until
1985. It is a single seat, high wing, wire
braced taildragger, with the motor in a
pusher configuration. The Rally 2 B uses
aluminum tube bolt together construction,
covered in dacron sailcloth.
The Rotec Rally 2 B uses an
overhead stick for elevator control, rudder
pedals operating the rudder and steerable
tailwheel. The throttle is a motorcycle
style twist grip which is located on the
elevator control stick. |
The plane is equipped with spoilerons to aid
in roll contol.A
number of engines were used on the Rally 2
B, including Kohler, Sachs, Rotax, Kawasaki
and Cuyuna. The kit was an assembly kit
taking approximately 75 hours to complete.
Bill Adasaka owner of
Rotec Engineering was "a super salesman,
even by Texas standards" and even today you
can find aircraft in barns where he
convinced people to become a dealer and
purchase 5 aircraft, which once sold would
give you yours at no cost!
There are a number of
problems with the Rally 2 B the least of
which is that is uses light rope for the
elevator and rudder controls! |
