Title: Fox 29R "Bathtub"
Post by: Bill Gruby on October 28, 2006, 11:20:22 AM

Help Needed
  This is not a joke, now that I own more than one of these monsters, I want to run one. What fuel, prop etc. I will be using a penbladder tank, its the only thing I'm sure of. We ran it once with a 9/7 prop and 25% fuel with good results. Want to try something else, thought this was a good place to get the straight scoop.
                                       Thanks---"Bill Gruby"

Joey;
   Fuel was no problem-----got an in with the local R/C brewmaster, he was happy to do it when I told him what it was for.  Now the hard part-----I need a source for the prop, any help would be appreciated. I'm in no hurry, this engine and I have waited 50yrs. for this,what's a little more time.

Joey---I'm in no particular rush. I'm retired and have the rest of my life to enjoy this hobby.
LIFE'S TO SHORT TO START RUSHING AROUND NOW. Thanks for all of your help. I also collect engines, if you ever need anything please, just ask?
