RE: Who knows about the Fox Stunt Runt?
The story I heard is that Fox built the .07 first then realized they weren't selling any because nobody made a plane for that size engine. Oops. So they went into the airplane business.
It has some truly goofy features. It has a built-up fuse except for the canopy which is profile. The thing that really makes it stand out though, are the 'sky hooks'. Nothing quite like sticking a couple of rudders on the wings to get it to stay out on the lines.
The die cutting was poor even for the time period. 'Micro finished' was a real stretch. It did have good wood though. Mine finished at 11.3 oz.
I hated to bash a kit that was that rare but I got rid of the profile canopy and finished it off. I also dumped the 'sky hooks' and added adjustable lead outs and a tip weight box. I think it turned out rather attractive.
Cheers,
Walt
