I have a Fox 07 RC too, it runs but I haven't put it in any plane...
What about spare glow heads/plugs?
I don't know when the ad is from (60-ties?) but Norvel certainly has shown what can be done with a bit of effort, both in terms of weight and power.
Glow plugs. Good question. Go here:

go to engines and scroll down to Fox. A few of the 049 parts will interchange with the 07 but not the glow head. See first picture.
I have also read that the Gilbert 07 head will fit. Virginia Hobby Sport also shows to have the Fox plain and FAI 049 engines. It probably would not be a bad idea to call and check stock before placing an order.

I know huh? Doesn't that look like the best combo you could dowith one of these 07s? Has anyone reading ever seen this kit or plan much less build it?
It just so happens that I have found one. I have not seen it yet... The tank described in the kit is bits of sheet metal...Some assembly required.
I called Fox and asked about the kit and engine and found very litle. I didn't think to ask about glow heads for the 07. No plan for the Stunt Runt is available.
While not the best looking model I have seen it doesn't look bad at all. Notice the thingies on the wings? Those are different!
For now these engines can be had pretty cheap and are not held in high regard. Not as high as I think they should. They don't show up as often as many other engines but are not rare or highly sought after. Could be the Fox 07's daty has come? Maybe not but the next closest engine would be the Thunder Tiger GP 07 weighing in at 3.35 ounces with it's muffler. Its power/weight ratio suffering.
