RE: 424 engine?
AMA 2008 RC Pylon Rules
RCR16.3.2
6) Power output:
Sport Quickie is intended as an entry-level event for pilots who
are new to racing. Sample engines are tested via committee and a list of permissible engines is
published and updated as necessary, annually. Criteria include purchase price and power output
in both the normal takeoff RPM range and the presumed in-air (unloaded) RPM range. Any
engine with a tuned muffler is strictly prohibited. The cost of the engine must be below $120
(street price). If engines more powerful than this are to be used at a contest, the contest should be
sanctioned as Quickie 500 (Event No. 428), not Sport Quickie.
7) Prior approval of engines.
a. Procedure: All engines, past and future inclusive, shall not be entered into
competition until a five-member subcommittee of the RC Racing Contest Board has approved
the engine by an affirmative vote of at least three members thereof. Such approval may be given
orally, but shall be recorded for future reference. An engine shall be considered eligible for
competition if it meets all requirements of section 16.3.2.and, in addition, does not hinder
the state of this entry level event as determined by the aforementioned five-member committee.
The committee is appointed by the Racing Contest Board Chairman and will not include
any member with a vested interest in the sale or manufacturing of an engine for this event. In
addition, any engine can be removed from the list by an affirmative vote of at least three
members thereof.
I am sure I saw the TT40Pro as the only approved engine in the AMA sanction packet for my last race I held. I will check tonight if I can find it, or mabye someone with a sanction and AMA document packet for their race can look thru the loose sheets of paper for it. I believe it is a single 8.5 x 11 page with just a few lines of text on it.
