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 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!

MECOA
RJL is the worlds largest producer of old time vintage model
engines.
Please be sure you know these are antique type engines and
are not suitable for modern modeling. If you don't know what
you're buying, DON'T BUY IT as skill and proper
set up are required for running. These engines have very specialized
applications.
If you're buying it for display, they are a great conversation
piece or will add a great finishing touch to an old time model.
