Title: Fox .29 "BATHTUB" update
Post by: Bill Gruby on November 24, 2006, 09:30:28 AM: Joey;

Finally got a good enough day Wednesday to crank it up. here's what happened!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

25% nitro 40% nitro
9-7 prop 7-10 prop
19.4K RPM 21.5K RPM
Bladder Tank Bladder Tank

Noise level--Don't know can't hear yet. Let's just say I have some neighbors behind me that are less than impressed-OOOOOPS

The Rpm reflects a 10% error for antiquated equipment and us Humans.

Not all that shabby for 50yrs. old.

It took all of us back to a time when things were a lot simpler.

Thanks for all the help in making this memory trip possible.

29's are B engines. Build a B Proto or B Team Racer for it. That will be really cool.

i have an x-40 rat engine mounted in a pan---been thinking about having oldest son(21yr old tuff guy)
hold it while i run a prime through it.if he dosnt runaway and hide i might fill up the tank!
he thinks hes tough guy launching old ama fast combat(on 10%---if only he knew!!)

Tell you neighbors your test running a new fuel effecint weed eater/leaf blower engine and they will love the noise!

I know Tom, but they are pretty, look like an airplane, and are period for the engine.
