I had 4 bad engines. None were Foxes. 2 were Enya .35 baffel plain bearing motors, and 2 were HBs with PDP. (1970s vintage)Absolutely junk!
Never had a bad Fox and still own every one I ever bought. The .40 I have generates alot of vibration, but I believe it makes near as much power as most old .60s do. Still runs, carburates, and vibrates fine! The 2 ea. old Eagles are faitful with hundreds of flights between em. I can't remember a "deadstick" with any of them. My .29 plainbearing baffel motor bought in 1977 is still NOD...(new on display)
I'd like to put that ole gal in a "Jenny", but as bad as I fly, probably wouldn't chance it.
One of the things that is cool is that they all still run fine, and are fun to look at. Foxes customer support and parts are just a phone call away,,,AND,,,they speak perfect Southern English!
Not Bad!
