I needed to thin my Hurd so I sold it to a bar in Fort Worth Texas. My Flying Fool I built in 68 was under power with a Fox 19. It went line slacking every time I flew it. I had my old Fox Stunt 35 and it flew a lot better even in a small wind. It was a major cutting job to install the 35 went all the way and installed new mounting rails. The nose was really narrow. That Fox Stunt 35 filled it up, but looked nice with the two inch aluminum spinner. Ended up buying another Fox Stunt 35. My S1 Ringmaster looked terrible motor less. My Top Flight Magician got all the repairs done. Tough little plane. AJ
