Super colour scheme Mike, I see you have the crescent moon tips as well. They were an expensive extra. They cut the roll rate down quite considerably but add to its soaring-ability. Now banned on the full size, but I still like to fly with them on. Have you flown her yet? Terry.

Hi
Yes done about 6 aerotows here up to 1500', soars beautifully and holds a lot more energy than my swift, absolutely love it. Scale cockpit just need two pilots now.

Hi Mike, Welcome to the Purbeck Fox Owners Club! Only joking, there isn't one but it is good to keep in touch with those of us who are lucky enough to own one of these vintage beasts. That's quite a colour scheme you have there - Wicked! The fuselage of mine is painted with mountains and a picture of an arctic fox, courtesy of Ali Machinsky. As you have found out, they are great to fly and are a keeper - sorry Terry. (I have Terry's prototype.) Looking forward to seeing yours in the flesh at one of the aerotow meetings. Fly safe, Eric.

Servos failing all at once, got some pilots, fitted powerbox with new JR servos but still can’t get the hang of the spoilers there mad
Let me know if you ever go sloping I use the long mynnd but it’s a treck from oxford
