Default RE: Where are they now?

No problem Andrew! The plan you posted should be a great R/C plane for the Fox 07 engine.

"Do you think you could locate some of the same prices shown in the ad? If we could only find engine and kit pricing from the 50's and 60's and radios from today, it would be great. The simple things have become much more expensive and the complex components have fallen in price, both in real and actual dollars. Go figure!!

Funny you should bring that up! I just so happend to receive in the mail this morning a price list from Fox Mfg. dated June 15 1961

Not only did Fox have the "Stunt Runt" with the "Sky Hook" feature They also had a "Sky Hook Trainer" also for the Fox 07 engine (see pic)
The "Sky Hook Trainer" was part number F-1 priced at $2.29 and the "Stunt Runt" was F-2 priced at $5.95.
Missle Mist and Fox Superfuel was priced eaqually at $.95/pt, $1.69/qt and $5.50/gal!

F-3 was a "Rumble Combat" for $6.95
F-4 a "Buzzard 54" for $2.95
F-5 a Tyrant Rat Racer for $5.95
F-6 a Giant Buzzard 144 for $24.95
F-7 a Navion Rangemaster for $8.95
