Watched but not clocked this @ UK Nats 2019.
Very FAST and reliable 2 flicks pitstops.
Watch Team Blue (Shirt).
Barton Forum UK might be helpful.



cheers

We've seen one or two on Clowns, and I think on one Goodyear.

Good horsepower and speed,  but you have to have a refueling setup that avoids possibility of flooding. Otherwise, endless flippy....

Depends greatly on which FORA 15 you're talking about. There are those for F2D that come withthe small venturi and the muffler, and then there are the 2,5 CC motors specifically for Goodyear or F1C.

like Bill wrote,
Fora Goodyear Engine has his roots in Fora F1C Free Flight engine, longer crankshaft.
Not much in common with Fora F2D engine , short crankshaft, 4mm Venturi ,FAI Rules.
Fora has a wide range and is not only competing @ F2D market.

Yes, there are several options. The one I am referring to specifically states for Goodyear.

What length lines are they on?

15,92m +/- 4cm like FAI F2C Team Race.

Different engine. Goodyear version $350 at Techno Hobby. Still expensive if you don't actually go out and race it.

Yes, that’s the one I am talking about.  Since the Rossi and Nelson’s are seemingly collectors items, I am curious why this one isn’t being talked about?

Mostly because AMA Goodyear is almost dead. There is not enough interest or activity to justify the effort or expense for most people. Sport-type Goodyear events are much more popular.
