I recently had an inverted power-on "landing" with a plane powered by a Fox 35. There was no damage to the plane, but the ST needle was, shall we say, reshaped. I decided to replace the ST NVA with a PA NVA that Randy Smith/Aero Products makes specifically for the Fox 35 (i.e., the spray bar is turned down to .125 or .128 inches (not sure which to preserve the proper throat area in the venturi). It was a great choice!

While the PA assembly resembles an ST, I think it is better made and it has a nylon-filled keeper for the needle that I think works better than the ST collet. so, if you would like to or need to replace the needle valve assembly on your Fox 35, I would highly recommend the PA.

Our host advertises them for $13.95.

Peter,

I agree. The turned down body and nylon collett is a big improvement over the ST NVA. 1-10? 10+!
