RE: Club FOX!

I think the Fox redhead 74 and Bluehead 60 had roler bearing cranks.

RE: Club FOX!

Good point about the mufflers, Earl. I still view them as something of an annoyance, while OTOH, I have come to view supressors for firearms as both a hearing protection and relief of annoyance...

RE: Club FOX!

The Quickie as I recall had pretty radical porting. I can't imagine one idling that well or turning a big prop. OTOH i have had a couple of 45s and several50s whichI think are on the same crankcase...

RE: Club FOX!

I think one of the most common causes for dissatisfaction with model engines, along with failure to read the instructions, is purchasing an engine for a use other than that for which it was...

RE: Club FOX!

As a couple of my other hobbies involve cleaning fish or field dressing deer, wiping a bit of oil off a model plane doesn't seem much of a chore.;)

RE: Club FOX!

In my youth (which continues to this day) i owned a number of motorcycles and sports cars from the UK. As a result I do not view leaked oil as any cause for a;larm.

To the contrary, if I see...

RE: Club FOX!

RE: Club FOX!

The mufflers for the current Fox 60 will work. Get one tilt-up and one tilt-down.

RE: Club FOX!

I like loud model planes, loud music, loud motorcycles, and loud guns. I suppose I have no claim to political correctness.

RE: Club FOX!

Assuming this is not a baffle piston engine with a corresponding slot in the head should the head not be rotated to be parallel to the airflow?

RE: Club FOX!

Come to think of it I do have one NIB fox I haven't run. It is an old split case 19. They have such a reputation for fragility that I have not quite made up my mind to run it.

RE: Club FOX!

Jeffie, the Fox web page shows carburator model 2200 for the 25BB. It has the flange type mounting.
