I'm sure there is a lot of old model airplane modelers on this site that might be interested in the history of Fox engines.
This is written by an old friend of mine, Bill Mohrbacher. I met Bill Mohrbacher, Ralph Taylor , Ernie Carlson when we were all 15 years old flying C/L.
Bill has been collecting model engines all of his life and has hundreds.
Bills love has always been RC Sailplanes, Ralph bought the plans for a Mong Sport but due to his health never got to build his dream airplane. Ernie is Carlson Aircraft.

Added-- My brother-in-law gave me a Fox 35 that he had bought that was in the first run of Fox 35's built. New still in the box with the paper and never ran. That went to Bills collection with about a dozen other engines.
