Goodyear Racing
A simplified form of Team Racing with "profile" fuselage and 1/8 scale rules. See below for my "Li'l Quickie" design and the full size plan offer. Read the Description and Building Hints!My Cosmic Wind lacks a plan, but I have GIFs of a 3-view of the prototype: Part 1 | Part 2
Tim Stone's executions of the Li'l Quickie: The '97 version uses a Gillot modified Rossi and goes 120 mph (190 km/h). The two '98 versions have upped the speed to 130 mph, using Rossi and Nelson engines
The SMFF C/L site now has a

Designs and Plans. In Swedish, but you can understand at least
the tables and addresses.
