Sorry about being so testy, Dave. I must be having one of my cranky old guy days. I apologize.

In any case, as soon as I get a chance, and enough of my body parts working at the same time, I will do a comparison of a couple of Redheads and Foxes. From what I read by the SAM (Society of Antique Modelers) folk the two engines produce about the same power, but most feel the McCoy has limited longevity compared to the Fox which seems to last forever. As the engine run for Foxacoy is 35 seconds engine life should be a moot point.

My personal experience with the 50's-60's McCoys is limited as I ran mostly Fox, K&B and Johnson in C/L (stunt, combat, rat race) and a little free flight.

I doubt I will ever compete in Foxacoy, but I may build a a Playboy or Bomber for the event just to use some of my old CL engines.
