Pretty cool. I understand that model engines weren't their only product but that is still a pretty big facility. It's an interesting mix of equipment. Some of it looked pretty modern but I would bet that some machines were war surplus.

Ahhh - the memories. In the early 90's, I had a Fox .40. Out of all of the 2-strokes that I ever owned, it was my favorite. It was simple, lightweight, powerful, tough, and utterly reliable. It always started on the 1st or 2nd flip. It lived through several planes until I finally broke it in a crash.

Oh, and I almost forgot how loud it was, with its small muffler that had no baffles. But a beer can muffler extension (anyone remember those?) made it really quiet and actually boosted power, like a tuned pipe.
