Fox 36X for a Christmas present

Fox 36X for a Christmas present
Here are some photos of my brother's Fox 36X Stunt engine.
I cleaned and refurbished it up so it looks like brand new when my brother purchased it back in 1971.
Jim,(my brother) was a very good U-control flier.
He flew the Ringmaster and Magician stunt planes.
Jim competed at the AMA Nat for aerobatics. Never won a trophy but always place in the top twenties.
I'm going to give this engine to my brother as a Christmas present.
Hopefully it will bring back memories to Jim when he flew his Ringmasters and Magicians,
dad flew the Nobler and Cosmic Wind, and me flying my 1/2A planes and we flew U-control together.
If you look carefully on the needle valve side, my brother engraved on the crankcase his initials (JRM).
So I couldn't "borrow" his engine.
