Default Fox Stunt Plug

Has anyone tried the new Fox Stunt plug? It is supposed to take away the Fox burp on the .35 stunt.

I've never experienced burping with Foxes on profile mounts, but I have been running the same old 50s - 60s Fox 35s I've always flown for sport, plus one old Fox 29 that Marvin (Big Iron) gave me a few years ago, and they must predate a change that affects newer ones. However, I will say that the deep-bodied fuel tanks that Gil Henry redesigned from a Chicken Hopper of George's never worked for me with Fox 35s, McCoys, or the OSMax-S 35s. With one of those, I always get all sorts of fuel feeding problems to the old cross-flow iron stunt motors.

I buy a card of Thunderbolt plugs every so often, and use those in the old Foxes (or Max-S 35s, my last McCoy has a broken lug)), when I want to hear a four-cycle sound again. (And I often wish I had something left over that was slightly larger, without being "too large", to get out an old G21/46 and run it. Those really had a very sweet sound, unmuffled, four-cycling.)

Bought a card of them this year at the WRAM Show. I'm using one in a Fox 35/ Nobler, inverted mount. The "burp" ,as most will tell you, usually doesn't happen in this arrangement. The plug has been used with up to 10% nitro and the longgevity seems good.

I've been running Fireball hot plugs in most stuff lately with few problems, but only because I got several cheap a few years ago. For the engines that run OK with a 75/25 FAI mix they work well (ST G21-46 and OS FP .35's I have seem very happy with the 75/25 FAI/Fireball hot combo)

I had been running Fox standard longs in the stunt .35's previously but on a low 5-7% nitro mix the Fireball hot's seem better. I've had good results with the Sig R/C long plug in the stunt .35 in the past too.
