CUNNINGHAM BLUESTREAK .647
 

All castings are made from original molds and all machined parts are held
to exacting standards so you won’t be able to tell ours from one produced 50 years ago.

Cunningham Blue Streak .647 Spark Ignition Version engine

SPARK IGNITION VERSION
Part No. 99-1501

Cunningham Blue Streak .647 Glow Version engine

GLOW VERSION
Part No. 99-1502

SPECIFICATIONS
Ball bearing crankshaft • Lapped iron piston • Loop scavenged
Bore: .937 • Stroke: .937 • Displacement: .647
Weight: 12.1 oz (glow version) • 12.6 oz (ignition version)

The Cunningham Blue Streak .647 is basically a Orwick with
a ball bearing crankshaft and cast on mounting lugs and venturi.
Produced in the forties, it is a very rare engine as very few were made.
It's actually better than the Orwick because it has
a more conventional design and a ball bearing crank.

Like the originals, these current production models feature a
lapped iron piston, bar stock connecting rod, and
ball bearing crankshaft. The originals came with a "make" timer
which the cam actually closes the contact point. Our current production
comes standard with a "break" type (same as Orwick) timer
where the cam opens the contact.

Differences from the original
Knurled prop drive  •  Orwick style timer on ignition version standard
Original style timer optional extra  •  Slightly larger crank diameter & rear bearing
Better looking blue finish.

Forster 99 with 2 speed ignition timer
 
 

No other current production vintage engine offers the unique design and
quality construction of the Forster 99.
RJL had used the original casting dies and the latest
computer controlled machinery to bring you this piece of modeling history.

The Forster 99 ignition engine first appeared on the market in 1936
and was sold thru the 1950's. Many features of the day included two speed timer
to allow a low/high speed by retarding the spark timing, ball bearing crankshaft,
and bronze bushed connecting rod. This well known favorite of many modelers
produces .68 horsepower and swings a 14 to 16 inch propeller with ease.
If you ever wanted to own a FORSTER 99, NOW IS THE TIME!
