RE: Club FOX!

Not to be contrary, but my OS .32F-H would out turn a Rev-Up 11x4 by four or five hundred rpm over the Fox .40 BB ABC pulling the same make and model prop. Of course, we are talking about only one...

RE: Club FOX!

When I first began messing with competition fun fly models many years ago, I remember coming across engine reviews of the Fox bushing .40 and the standard ball bearing .40. I found it interesting...

RE: Club FOX!

Back around 79 or 80, I called the Fox factory one day. I was unhappy that Fox engines were designed to burn their Missile Mist fuel. Missile Mist had 25% nitro content and was not the cheapest of...

I forgot about their trade-in policy. That just might be the best way to go. Thanks.

RE: Club FOX!

I'm glad that ya'll reminded me that I bought a used (well used) Fox .50 a short while back with the intention of converting it to Diesel, for which I then purchased a Davis Diesel Development (Hi...

RE: Club FOX!

I have been using Fox engines ever since I received my first one as a gift in the late Fifties or early Sixties. The engine was the Fox .09. It ran well and it powered my models well. I never did...

RE: Club FOX!

When someone runs a high compression engine along with too much nitro methane (over 5% nitro), they will have to run the engine very rich in order to retard the ignition in order to prevent the...

RE: Club FOX!

I never understood folks that hated one brand of engine or another. I used to wait for them to get tired of playing with their Fox, or other brand of unpopular engine, and then make them a low ball...

I'm not questioniing your accuracy, or your veracity, for that matter - whatever that is...(smile)

I don't remember there being a Class B Combat (under .30 CID), although I do remember something...

RE: Club FOX!

The pipe in the preceding pictures is a muffled tuned pipe. They are quiet as they come. Fooling around with the stinger (exhaust exit) length and diameter can end up losing you power/decreasing the...

RE: Club FOX!

I shop the auction sites for used equipment, like the PSP Ultrathrust mufflers. However, I should say that I have bought new Jett Engineering mufflers and I have been extremely satisfied with those...

RE: Club FOX!

The Honda 250 four cylinder street bike (sold in Japan) redlines at around 17.5k rpm. I'll betcha they have ringed pistons. Whatcha think?

RE: Club FOX!

My Fox .19BB, the predecessor to the .25BB pictured earlier, was an ABC equipped engine. That thing was unbelievable in power and tractability. Wish I had held on to it. I'm not saying that the .25...

RE: Club FOX!

This illustrates why you MUST use fuel with lots of castor oil in many of the old Fox engines. In fact, it is a good policy for nearly all of the engines made by Fox. And many other manufacturers...

The trick to flying control line without getting dizzy is to stare at the model and ignore the background.

RE: Club FOX!

They had to enlarge the case because of the larger intake bore through the crankshaft, IIRC.

RE: Club FOX!

Yep, it is a four.

Now pray that it has the right head button in it, or it will quit running at the five minute mark each and every flight, even after two hours break-in time. My .74 Mk. IV did...

RE: Club FOX!

But, sometimes, in the grand scheme of things, those .36 engines with the larger, heavier, crankshaft, could smoke any stock sport .40 in existence. Which is what you said, but in a slightly...

RE: Club FOX!

To me, once you learned to adjust it properly, the only gripe I had about the butterfly carb was the cast-in-place tapered fuel fitting. And that was easy to fix with a file and a lock washer...

RE: Club FOX!

My interest in pattern flying began in 1968. At that time the 10cc displacement limit was already standard throughout the US and the rest of the world (that I was aware of), except for some lower...

RE: Club FOX!

I talked Duke (via telephone) into making a high compression head available for the Fox Eagle .60, version 1 of the Eagle .60 series.

Which Asian make would that be, Konrad? I have never had problems hand starting an OS engine of any configuration, with the exception of the Wankel.

However, I will admit to falling back on the...
