I'm looking for a Fox 36X BB.  I've got a couple of the needle bearing version, and don't want to gamble on an Ebay engine that may or may not be a BB version.  If anyone has one around that they're sure has ball bearings (they're visible with the back plate removed) that they'd be willing to part with for a fair price, please let me know.  Good used condition preferred, as I plan to use it, not add it to a collection.

Thanks!

Can we start a new thread for the Fox 36X sets?  I can't imagine most that would be interested would find the topic in a McCoy thread.

Yes, a tribute to John Gunn for his hard work putting on the contest in Texarkana. But also the 2nd event of the year for the Dist 8 Profile Stunt Championship trophy.. The trophy will be given to the winner at our November 1-2, 2014 Contest ..  Here is a picture of the trophy good luck to the pilots ..

Think small, dream big.

Bill, may your dream come true! I found a PA75 after 2 years of searching. The key is to not give up.

Thanks, Fred, but those are the "normal" Fox .59.  The long shaft has a crankshaft that is quite a bit longer.  Half again as much at least.  Because of the long front case, the case would often crack.  Some type of support is needed to keep them from breaking under vibration.

That is great you could had a chance to recall the memories with your Dad.   My Dad never built or flew a model plane, but was my helper when needed.   He loved watching the competition and flying.

Now you know why Indy cars hose the cars down after a pit stop.   Many a driver and crew man burn with alcohol flames.
