L&J Fox 35 with Blue Magic Head

<< < (3/4) > >>

Dave_Trible:
Sorry a little off subject-  I have one of the 1963 GOLD 15th Anniversary Fox 35 that is like new except the previous owner replaced the original gold plated head with something else-either stock or???.  I'd like to find an original gold head for my engine.  Does anyone have one I can buy ?   Thanks!

Hi John, I have owned and used several Magic Blue Heads and have found them to superior to any others I've had and used! They were made by Tom Muggleston who is a fine machinist. He's also the one who made "Happy Camper" engines, which were Tower .40's modified with ball bearings and perhaps other things. In addition to the Magic Blue Head I added Super Tigre NVA, NO mods to the Block id, and a
stuffer Back Plate by Fox. My prop of choice for these engines was and still is the MAS 9 1/2 X 6 as manufactured by the company and NOT a cut down 10 X 6. You may recall my old El Diablo as flown with you many years ago! That plane was powered by such a Fox .35 with all the goodies mentioned.

PS Tom Muggleston is no longer making Magic Blue Heads Heads unless he return to production recently. TTBOMK!

How does one visually identify a “Happy Camper” Tower .40?

I posted these pics of my L&J Fox 35 on FB.  Every time I post something there it turns up here like no one has ever seen it before, Lol!

Could you expand on that, what did they do to make the engine better?

Thanks,
