Title: Fox 35 Stunt High Compression Head
Post by: Bill Mohrbacher on July 07, 2012, 01:31:24 PM: Folks on the other forum were asking about this high compression head for a stunt 35. I was talking to MArvin Denny and he hadn't ever seen one; hard to believe!!

So here it is Big Iron!

Sorry folks, I can't get my pictures to post; that's a first, too!

Big mystery, I'll have to try later - I can't even post pictures that I have posted with no trouble earlier!

Ok, sneaky work around. MECA has started a new Bulletin Board - I've listed the pictures there:

A crankshaft crossed him once. You can't let that stand unanswered.

Post by: EddyR on July 07, 2012, 06:24:22 PM: The fox .29 and .35 were used a lot in FF and that is the head that was used for that event. The Fox worked well in FF models. Using a 10/4 and that head in a RamRod 750 was a good combination. The engine run was only 15 seconds.

I once flew a very nice Nobler of Don McClave's that had a Fox .35 running high RPM and low pitch...totally weird in the world of Foxes but by far the best flying Fox powered stunt ship I've ever flown. Don't know if it had a high compression head on it but the earlier description from Eddy R. about Foxes in free flights with 10X4 props and hi comp heads makes my retired stunt guys mind ponder what was under the hood.

Post by: Dennis Toth on February 21, 2016, 06:44:10 AM: That high compression head looks very much like the head from the 36X. I think they fit the 35S. Seems the approach would allow richer setting with lower nitro fuel.

Best, DennisT

Yes it looks just as crude as everything else on a Fox 35

Post by: Garf on February 21, 2016, 08:58:16 AM: I believe it was intended to enable the Fox to be run on no nitro fuel.

Post by: frank mccune on February 22, 2016, 06:40:32 AM: Hi Bill:

I have two of these HC heads. Do they improve anything? I have never tached the engines with or without the heads.

I talked to Duke many years ago about the No. 2 head and he told me that when K&B came out with their.35, he designed the HC head to be able to compete with them.

I use no nitro in my engines with the HC head and they run very well

Will I see you at the Lebanon Flea Market?

Be well m friend,

Frank McCune
