   Mine absolutely is set up for a Fox 35, a late 70's version that has had about ** 40 gallons ** of fuel through it.

it is also set up for a 25FP, of course

Some "modern" stunt persons might be surprised at how well a Nobler would fly with that little Fox if, instead of a four stroking Fox 35 with wide blade 10/6 and a pilot whipping every corner, we simply put an appropriate low pitch prop that the Fox could spin at ten grand or so, shrunk the lines by a couple feet and tried again how much different the resulting pattern might be!  That little Nobler would be a different animal if utilized with a modern power train!


i think.....

Ted

I think we've learned a bit since we thought a four stroking fox and a wide blade 10X6 was the last best word for a good pattern!

   The 25FP is *plenty* of power. Taming it down is a bigger problem than "not enough".

He had airplane difficulties before the contest and sat out.  It was wonderful to see him again.

Kudos to Dennis for a fine report
