       This is a serious/disastrous problem with a straightforward fix, known for 30 years, why are we still debating it?

     I note that using the "wrong fuel formula and plug* can cause other issues but not this one, and time this "fix" works it is a coincidence.

It is a serious/disastrous problem. Note that some are citing upright/inverted installations. The problem occurs on profiles. I gave up on Fox 35's after trying hemi heads, stuffer backplates and whatever. Next was going to be an inboard mount. Trying to get a Fox 35 to run on a profile is a hobby in itself and if you enjoy that kind of thing then go for it. The reality is that compared to modern engines the Fox is a real dog.

Flew the fox 35 in stunt in the late 50's and 60's and never had the burp on upright and inverted engines...dont know if it was the fuel mix..we mixed our own fuel for all our different classes of events
The problem persists when the engine is mounted horizontally, ie., on a profile airplane.  In certain spots an over-large fuel charge gets thrown into the cylinder and drowns the plug apparently.  That flow pattern doesn't occur usually when the engine is mounted in another position.  Mounting the engine inboard rather than outboard may also solve the problem on a profile but add other complications.  An idle bar glow plug may help some.....otherwise the stick or the new head.

Does setting the model in the sun help speed up the outgassing process or whatever?

  Normally it would be a 1/32" molded insert but I found that smoothie straws are the perfect size and lighter that the balsa.

...and much more colorful!  Nicely done.
