controlline,
You fly C/L and you don't know that the venerable Fox Stunt .35 is still made with a cast iron piston and steel sleeve? Your Fox .15's are old but the modern one is also cast iron and steel sleeve. As are many of the smaller Fox engines both R/C and C/L. The lower priced Enya's are also. Other than a few low production engines (I recall some made specifically to fit a scale model) that is about it.
I have never purchased a fox engine or bolted one onto any planes. Any Fox engine I have ever had in my hands came trading lots of items or buying a lot of items. I will most likely trade these away also. Dont get me wrong. I am not dissing the guys that run the Fox engines as I hear they are dependable nice lil motors. They just arent the cutting edge tech I like to tinker with.
So far I have done 99% of my control line flying by myself as the control line club here disbanded in 1976 or so. The 2 closest clubs are both over an hour away from me and I just have not been able to make the time to visit one of them. So I would say no I have never picked up and looked at a fox Stunt .35
I am however hoping to make it up to one of the clubs this weekend but as usual when I can make the trip It'll prolly rain and Ill be stuck by myself flying in the local park again.
