What Fox is this

Can anyone identify this Fox engine?

Uh, what those other guys say. Also looks like you've been using company copier for color engine photos. I'm calling your boss.

Yes. This is the very rare Fox Molester 45.

Thanks to the late Jim Shinohara for proper identification.

I dunno. It sure doesn't look very "foxy" to me.....more like a boat anchor I'd say.

Looks like one of the early Fox Eagles. The first one was, I believe, a 60 followed later by a .74.

And this would distinguish it from other Foxes how?

Ron: Funny!

Rick,

It's a Fox Eagle either the 60 or 74. The cylinder is on wrong though,

Hmmm, that ugly thing is a Coyote!! Six more beers and it might start looking like a Fox. Ha. Wait till closing time then ask us.

Cripes, I thought Ty would get it. Especially symbolism of header pipe...

Again, this is the "Molester 45" from Fox Mfg.

I would be most interested in knowing how Tim can refer to engine shown as being assembled incorrectly.

Looks like a Fox 60. They made these
so you could unbolt the case and rotate
the exhaust around from the side or to the
rear.

I don't think anybody is biting....wait, that isn't a very good choice of words.

Maybe the original belchfire 60??

Fox Eagle III, 60 size displacement long stroke vibrating monster. It has more break horsepower than any other 60 on the market. By Brake horsepower though I only mean anything you mounted it to would break it shakes so hard.

To get away from the heavy iron piston, and to try something totally new, Duke used Neutronium for the piston instead. Now everyone else at the time was going to ABC, ANC or AAC to get away from the heavy piston shake with fairly good results. Duke, being an inovator and unique thinker, realized that if he used a cubic inch of Neutronium, a substance so dense that the electrons of all the atomic material are actually crushed into the nucleous so that a meare cubic inch weighed more than our sun, would cause the EARTH to shake up and down when the engine was running curing the vibration of the airplane. Unfortunately he forgot that at certain times the aircraft should actually be in contace with the earth and so anyone starting said engine while it was in contact with the earth would stare in horror as the model would pound itself into the ground.

Another failure for the Duke. With the proclamation of, 'To hell with innovation, I'll just keep making Fox 35 stunts' Duke left public life, never to diddle, and I MEAN diddle, in the shop again.

Clean,
You never cease in making me LMAO!
I wish there was a prize, because you'd get it.
I posted this for a friend who bought this monster at a garage sale and was curious as to what it was.

How about I buy you a beer at Topeka this year?

Catdaddy, I think that I have several sets of gaskets and screws for that enging. See if he needs any.

If I drank you could, make it a Coke and a smile.

Honestly, could you imagine ME in a drunken stupor, Eeeash. All I need is to get sillier.

That's where I left it...

It's a Fox,of course he's going to need all the parts he can get.

Actually, if you had one of these, you could build a doulble sized Ringmaster, Flite Streak, All American, etc. etc. and amaze everyone!

Oh I got it, but have never heard the full story, so didn't want to interject anything that would truly show my ignorance of the "subject".

Dan:

Is it one Duke Fox desiged or named?

Dan,

From the factory it is a side exhaust engine. I guess no reason it wouldn't run like this.

Dan,he's probably referring to the fact that after rework,AKA behavior modification,the exhaust pipe was changed to a softer material and just dangled from the port.This change,however,came too late to avoid terrorizing the .15 and under community.

That's good, Ty. I presume one chews off one's motor mount in the morning.

It is the Fox eagle 3 and yes it vibrated and is ugly. However if you use larger lumber as in a 12/6 or 13/5 and hold the revs down a bit it isn't too bad. Just don't use an 11/7 anything as it will really buzz on you and the fuel consumption isn't anything to write home about either. The carb that is on it has gone through at least a dozen revisions and they still haven't got it right, some work some don't.
That said I still have one with a Diesel head on it. With an 18/6 on it it actually smoothed out. Heavy lumber has a tendency to do that. Haven't run it in years though. Dennis

I think it's a custom Fox developed in the 70's by some guy named Farkin. The only reason I say that is one of the guys that I flew with had one and he always refered to it as a "Farkin Fox".

Actually he made them all.

I wonder if that is the same Farkin that invented the ice-fishing auger used all over Canada. I'm sure Dan must have heard of him.

Yes. Although my first exposure to such a device was during a trip to Russia, sharing a train compartment with a fellow who was lugging just such a contraption, he being on a fishing trip.

I was quite amused. Especially when realizing we might see him again--fish in a bag--on our return to St. Pete (Leningrad at the time).

Well, Dan(who usually gets it), I'm surprised to hear his invention also made it to Russia. But...you can hardly go anywhere in Canada without finding a Farkin icehole.

Note to Canucks: the above was posted purely to have fun with Dan. There are plenty of Farkin iceholes in the U.S. too.

Bill,

I am guilty as charged. Nice, very nice little shuck 'n jive you played on me.

Now, as to being Canadian and leaving one's brain in his tool box while (whilst?) out flying CL, I have a couple comments.

NOT!

I am already in the hole over that deal with Duck, I don't believe he, or Will, or Keith, or any members of the Dreaded Canadian Stunt Contingent will ever forgive me.
