The Formula Four-Star Racing Series is a pylon racing competition using a Sig Four-Star .40 (ARF or kit) airframe powered by a Thunder Tiger .40 Pro Engine. The objective was to create a fun racing series using simple, approachable equipment at a performance level that invites competitors of various skill levels. This is considered an “entry level” pylon competition. Competing in this program will improve the flying skills of all who participate while providing camaraderie in a low-stress racing environment.
