Very FAST and reliable 2 flicks pitstops.
Watch Team Blue (Shirt).
Barton Forum UK might be helpful.

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

Post by: Peter Grabenstein on January 06, 2020, 10:43:18 AM: 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.

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?

Post by: bill bischoff on January 11, 2020, 12:30:46 PM: 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.
