RE: Converting RC engines to Control Line
[That Bill Werwage. He got tired of having Foxes blow up, and was instrumental in getting Hi Johnson to start building engines. He did finally give up, and just tolerated the regular engine changes staying with Fox.]
Actually Hi Johnson was already in the engine business at the time. Bill worked with Johnson to build a better stunt engine than Fox but they were unsuccessful and Fox dominated PA until the trend to larger engines.
I used some Johnsons in Combat untill the Fox Combat Specials came along. The Johnsons were very nice engines and Hi was a super guy.
