Title: WTB Fox 35 P&L
Post by: Jay on June 11, 2025, 03:26:21 PM: I'm in need of a Fox 35 piston and liner.
I know it's a tough find but maybe someone in Airplane Land has one they don't need.
NIB or close to it.
ABC a big plus.
Thanks
Jay

Amen to that! MECOA, in my opinion, has done a disservice to the model community. They buy up all the product lines (like Great Planes / Hobbico) and then do nothing with it. MECOA does not even LIST a P/L for a Fox 35. It would have been better if someone like Brian had the tooling and parts. If that happened, we would have all the Fox 35s we wanted.

Yes! I have about twenty Fox .35s all from Ebay. It's easier (and maybe cheaper) to buy new ones than to get parts and rebuild. There is currently a Gold anniversary .35 on there pretty cheap. I've been tempted but have five already. It is harder to find those with muffler ears however you can buy a new or newer old model and take the parts out for your muffler case.

I got a bag with Fox 35s. I don't know how many, but the bag weighs 7.5 lbs. I wonder how many that is. Maybe some day I will dump it out and see.
