Hello All,
When I dug out the Fox Hawk, I also found what I think is a Fox 40 with the large "back door". I converted it to C/L spec, a good few years ago, but it never got flown. Is this one best in the showcase or does it have any use in any type of C/L work? It is in very good condition with an excellent compression and smooth bearings, but my goodness it seems heavy for a 40, all of 10.5 Oz's without silencer.
Regards,
Andrew.

I have several of those Fox's. They fly great if you don't push them and make sure there is castor in the fuel. They are on profile type planes. Also it seems it takes a while to get them broke in. H^^

Thanks John,
Exactly the type of advice that I need. Don't know if they are faily low on power? What type of profile are they happy on? I would think a Flite Streak may be too small and something like Cardinal or Oriental would be on the big side? I have lots on the building board(s), so one more won't hurt!
Many Thanks,
Andrew.

I would think a Fox .40 would fly a Cardinal or Oriental just fine, I think a 11X5 prop maybe 62' lines and launch at 10,000 rpm should work, I'm sure there are more here who can reply to this.

The profiles I use them on are "The Shameless" and "The Doodle Bug". Both big profiles. H^^
