Fox 15 Control Line Engine

The Fox 15 control line (C/L) engine was my first engine larger than the Cox .049 Black Widow engine. It provided the power for my Jetco Shark 15 control line airplane model. This is not the best example of a Fox 15 C/L engine, but I hope to have time to clean it up and maybe even replace the missing spring on the needle valve. Nowadays my Fox 15 sits on a shelf over the computer monitor.
