i have two fox .50's , i was thinking of trying one in a 68 inch 9 pound plane, you think it would pull it good enough?
In a word, Yes. This engine has the power of a .60 in my opinion. As long as you don't expect to do 3D flight with this plane. This engine will except a wide range of props anywhere from Sport performance right up to exterme fast aircraft. One word of advice though, The company fits the ringed aluminum piston tighter than most other companies dare to, so use castor oil in your fuel to prevent piston galling. I forgot to add this, my Fox .50 pulled over my test stand during running in and fine tuning the carb. Aslo I have used 0% nitro fuel in this engine and it still made bags of thrust[X(]
