Fox Racing

In this age of programmable whatsits, automatic machine tools, microprocessor-based coffeemakers, and high-tech aerospace materials, there is a cadre of people who still like things simple. If you are one of these people, Fox Racing may be for you. Fox Racing is not new; there have been several versions throughout the years: FoxBerg, FoxyHazel, Fox Sport Race, Fox Buzz, Fox Goodyear, etc. The events were similar in concept, but each had regional rules variations. They allowed only the use of a stock Fox Stunt .35 and suction fuel system, and several directions were taken from there involving accessories and airplane configuration, such as landing gear, wing area and thickness, props, shutoffs, fuel, etc. With the formation of the National Control Line Racing Association (NCLRA), an effort was made to standardize Fox Racing rules. The event was supplemental at the 1996 National Aeromodeling Championships (Nats), and it had more entries than all other Racing events except Mouse I!
