Any suggestions on fuel for my "Fox"? It's AA - doesn't have any chrome anymore (it rusted)!

Also what prop would you recommend?

Kerosene with a bit of paraffin and possibly ether added may do just the trick, assuming that yours is one of them pocketa-pocketa machines. Save a buck or two and skip the nitro.

Try 6 parts MARVEL MYSTERY OIL, 3 parts SEA FOAM, and 4 parts 90 weight in the crank case and 50/50 cheap gas and DARK German lager beer in the tank.


Also pour two or three gallons of Brodak's finish rejeuvenator on the finish and rub like mad!

It'll either run and shine or rollover on it's back with its tires up and die like a contented Fox should.........

P.S. as to props, concrete blocks seem appropriate.

Hey Dick,

How do you carry your planes in your Fox? A bit on the small side eh?

Hey Pat, that's easy...... break the noses off and they fit better on the trip home!

Dick,
It's obvious no one is taking you serious. On the other hand, I believe you are serious and will try to help you. Befor recommending anything, we will need to have more information. For example, do you plan to use this on your farm?,,, for plowing?? If so I would not recommend the Fox but instead I would suggest that OS in the Tanager, I have seen firsthand the furrows it plows.
Now if your lookin for mileage I would suggest that Denali with Rog and a large sack of bean burritos, once again the FOX comes up short. I know you hear that all the time (come up short) but it's not a good idea with your Fox. I am guessing that the Fox pictured is the one that you bought with the money you received from the raffle of the dead mule. Well as you can clearly see I have taken a serious stand on your question, even though it is difficult to take you seriously having seen you fly.

Prop? Which end do you want to prop?? Start with a 4X4 and go from there... Watch out the pitch doesn't rub off on your hands.
