RE: Club FOX!

To "Tinker " and "mess around" with engines for a short span 25 years ago does not make a person a "Model Engine Builder"

RE: Club FOX!

You are going to cause some poor guy to destroy his treasured Fox after feeling the need to hone his cylinder when there was no need because he read your diatribe.

RE: Club FOX!

After rebuilding many model engines over the years, I have found this statement to not be true.
