From appearance alone it is evident that Fox engines are different from the rest of the pack. Duke Fox was always known to be an inovator and, to some, even a little eccentric. Fox built his first model engine in 1943. Since then the sheer number and diversity of successful model aircraft engines designed and produced by this one man is truly amazing. Among his accomplishments were also many industry firsts that advanced the state of the art. These included innovative new casting techniques and significant improvements in glow plug design. Even the use of nitromethane in model fuel was pioneered by Fox. While Duke Fox is no longer among us, his wife, Betty, and the dedicated people at Fox Manufacturing, continue the tradition of producing unique and innovative model engines.The current series of Fox engines maintain the tradition of "out of the rut" appearance while providing state of the art performance.
