What is this Fox Engine?
« on: March 03, 2011, 08:36:37 AM »
Is it an older Stunt engine?  Combat?  What?

(It's certainly not the RC engine that the seller thinks it is)

The problem with electric is that once you get the smoke generator and sound system installed, the plane is too heavy.

It's one of a million Fox .35 Stunt C/L engines.  The seller doesn't appear to know the difference between R/C and C/L engines. It is an older version- no muffler mounts, the fact he had it running means it is at minimum complete and assembled correctly.

Looks like an older fox 35 stunt..looks to have the 3 bolt back plate. I can't see the venturi very well but it may have been cut down some

With that shinny case I would guess late 70's vintage fot 35 stunt.

With the round venturi and lack of muffler bosses, I took it for a stunt engine, too -- but I wanted to hear from the experts.

It does have two holes, one over and one under the exhaust stack.  Probably tapped for mounting a muffler or a clapper.

That was Fox's second attempt at a muffler for the Stunt engine.

 Back Plale gives it away. 1972 Fox .35 Stunt. The 1973 was the same except the back plate was tumbled like the case.
