Walt, thanks for your reply my friend. Your Stunt Runt looks great.
"except for the canopy which is profile"
Each time I have looket at the picture it seemed to me that I was looking at a profile thing on top but wasn't sure. Thanks for clarifying that for us. Your treatment looks like it should. Very nice.
" 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."
You may have heard that but there were plenty of control line planes kitted before during and afterwards that could use this engine. Pretty much any plane designed for the .049 could easily use this engine, Scientific had a large number of kits that were rated from .020-.074 as seen in this catalog page from the 1950s and some were rated for up to .099.
Enterprise and Monarch model kits also fit the bill. Surely there were others.
As for going into the airplane buisiness, Fox bought Berkeley! That did not last of course.
