Hi Landeck, are you saying that the Fox 74 is similar to the OS 90 FX? Wow, I'm looking forward to using my Fox 74 next season.
No. What I am saying is that watching both Escapade 61s flying, one with the Fox 74 Eagle IV and the other with an OS 91 FX it is hard to tell which is flying better. Both engines power the plane very well. I have a APC 12x7 prop on the Fox turning 12,000 rpm and my friend has a APC 14x6 turning 10,500 rpm. Further, I have the full cowling and am a few ounces lighter while his has just the side cheeks. And finally, the Fox is new and just broken in while the OS is second hand. Given this, both planes appear to have similar good flight characteristics.

Ok, ok, you are just trying to be nice to your friend. I will draw my own conclusion.
