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!
