RE: Phoenix Strega motor for 120 class racing.
In all honesty, it sounds like they need to just spec what engines they will allow. If you say any FI/SE engine, that should cover it. Who cares if it's a heli motor or not? What's is wrong with "speed" engines? Isn't this a race? I think whoever is making up these rules needs to rethink things and stop making it so complicated. I can't remember the last time we had an issue over engines at an RCPRO warbird race. We don't have any make or manufacturer limits.
It sounds like some of the folks making up these rules already have the engines they want to use and are making sure someone doesn't show up with something faster.
I don't get it.
