Ed hung up the phone on us...
I did not actualy hang up the phone, I was not going to be drawn any further off topic than we had already gone.
However, the following quote is worthy of comment
Today's Quickie engines come ready with the Swiss, phenolic retainer, C4 bearings and with the dedicated, 9.5 mm #3219Q carburettor.
With a 9.5mm carburettor the engine is not even legal for Q40 or Q500 AMA events. The max dia for those events is 9.0mm. So I wonder what Quicky event it is aimed at.
And another thing, while I am at it
The MVVS Quickie 500 engine was designed to run on 0% nitro and on pure Castor oil (note spelling; a caster is a self steering wheel, like on a shopping cart...).
The Oxford dictionary defines cast
OR amongst other things, as a swiveling wheel on the end of table, chair etc. etc. legs. It does not mention "Cast
ER".
