So same engine as current F2d?
same useless muffler?
same intake restrictor?
same 10%-20% caster rule on fuel?
Same lines?
If FAI changes the engine requirements, what happens? I would bet the exhaust exit size will shrink soon.
Good f2d guys get new engines almost every year for an 100 RPM. I have several cast offs that make great speed limit motors but won't pull like a new fora.
Some valid points. But the idea of the proposal
(as it now stands) is that you can go to a contest and use
exactly the same stuff in both events, now and in the future.
The only difference is that in the F2D match you stand to lose two whole sets of equipment and in Fast, only one. And since a kill wins, the late-match thuggery is not a part of Fast. If a better engine come out, you only need to buy ONE to support Fast, not 4, like in F2D.
But most important, you will have more chances to actually fly Fast Combat, not just two sparsely-entered contests like now.
