Default I have 3 Fox engines now

(1) a NIB 74 from the late-80's or early 90's with the twin needle carb. I have had the Flightline head button made up for it and am looking for an airplane to mount it on. I'm thinking an Ultra Stick or possibly some other Fun fly. I may even think about an old-school style pattern ship like a kaos.

(2) Fox-50 with a full lenth Mac pipe mouned on my Kwik-Fly 40. Haven't flown it yet, perhaps in another week if I get the time to finish a few details. this one has the air-bleed carb :-(

(3) Fox-Q -- interesting engine. I'm thinking a skat-cat or scooter or ?? Not too much info about this engine yet.

I do think that fox as a good, well machined feel to them. As I get to know these engines I'll relate the experience to RCU forums. The Fox-50 will be the first since it's mounted and basically ready to fly. I need to put a pressure tap on the pipe and make sure the kwik fly is balanced properly, the try it out.
