Fox Remote Needle Valve Assembly

What is the take on the remote needle valve assembly for a Fox .35? This is not for use by one that can fly the stunt pattern. If used, is that anything I need to know about the setup. It will be used in a plane with a buitlup fuselage.
Thanks in advance for any advice.

I ordered one a few years ago, and could never figure out the best way to use it. My personal opinion is that Fox thought they needed to offer one just to keep up with OS, Tower Hobbies, GMS, etc., and didn't do a very good job. Stay with the non-remote NVA. I don't think Super Tigre, Irvine, etc. ever fell for this. I think remote NVA's were dreamed up just to reduce the manufacturer's liability exposure. Glen

I have never seen the Fox unit but I made one for myself with an old spraybar and the needle/spigot from an OS R/C carb. It worked fine as a stunt motor, and it was obviously much better than the stock needle/spraybar. I was still startled at how much cavitation was happening in the fuel line near where it went into the spraybar.

Thanks for the info. Now the question I forgot. Must the remote needle valve assembly be attached to the motor or can it be mounted elsewhere, like on the fuselage of the plane?

I see no reason why it has to be mounted to the engine. Mine was, but I wuold expect it to work mounted to the fuse.

Thanks for the information. Will try using it attached to the fuse and see what happens. Gotta give them a try.
