RE: Club FOX!

Depending on what you paid you might actually have gotten a great deal. They look like they are good parts engine at least. I like to buy locked up engines myself as these are usually just gummed up...

RE: Club FOX!

Earlwb, posted a lot of good information in post #1807 for some of Fox's ad fliers. It is worth a close look.
The 1" bore is for a 0.74. As this engine (earlier versions) were notorious for having...

RE: Club FOX!

What is normal? Knowing how to select the correct glow plug, fuel, prop and mixture strength are in my opinion often outside of what is "normal" but needed for proper set up. It is hoped that my...

RE: Club FOX!

Yes, that is why you need a stone and not a carbide burr.

Again do this if you are a tinkerer. This is not needed for 99% of your sport flying. But it is one of the many things that contribute...

RE: Club FOX!

A steady hand, a Dremel type tool and stone is all you need. True, you won't see much performance increase but a 100rpm here and 100rpm there, and pretty soon you are talking real performance.

RE: Club FOX!

As you know I think Fox has done us modelers a great service trying to bring the ceramic liner to the market place. I have to solute Fox for also not going to the cheaper electroless nickel process...

RE: Club FOX!

Yep, tore apart that Eagle III RX and I found the problem (I think).
It is amazing what 30 year of experience and hard earned knowledge from the school of hard knocks does for you.

RE: Club FOX!

Earl,
Here is a follow up to your post.
This is a Fox Eagle III RX that I converted. You will note that the new transfer port looks very much like the old boost port only smaller (I could have...

RE: Club FOX!

Fox while not what I'd consider a competitive engine is trying to market a ceramic liner that supplants chrome. You will note that Fox did make true ABC liners for us sport flier until recently. Fox...

RE: Club FOX!

Yes, rods are the shape they are because they are easy to make. A diamond shape would be better from a flow stand point and be just about as easy to manufacture. As to the web porting there isn't...

RE: Club FOX!

None of the shafts I show for the 10cc engines use replaceable (screw in studs) prop shafts. The idea was to have replaceable shaft should the C/L engine hit the circule. On smaller returned engines...

RE: Club FOX!

JB weld works fine. Do give the epoxy something to purchase (hold on to). I'd be surprised if you find 500 rpm with the epoxy. Do try to radius the edge I mention and while you are at it rework the...

RE: Club FOX!

As for the replaceable prop shaft. Yes there can be piloting issues. But since the prop/spinner is attached close to the threaded crankshaft bore any out of square condition is minimized. Also most...

RE: Club FOX!

All my Eagle II look like that. If you want I can try to take a photo. It will be difficult as I won't be taking apart the engines.

The Eagle III looks better But that is because Duke widened...

RE: Club FOX!

The poor guy was trying to keep up with me (poor fool);). As a result the engine did see a few:eek: lean runs!

Earl,
Here is a very very rare thing to behold. A WORN OUT FOX!

That is how they work. The placement of the hole determines at what point in the throttle position it is opened or closed is going the other way. The air bleed does effect the fuel mixture at other...
