I just wish they had included a picture of the mod to the R/C carb for a better idle.

I picked up a CS at Toledo.  Just so cute. :)

As far as I know there is no online version of the article Ralph, but it is on page 38 of the current issue.

Ray:

CS stands for "China Shanghai". I toured the Shanghai Model Engine Research Department as a guest in 1994.
(It's located in the area of the City of Shanghai & district, of course)

Home Tuned/modified versions of CS .049's often win/place at the U.S Nats in 1/2A Profile Proto & 1/2A speed.
A good comparison of .049's can be found on the web site of Martin Gregorie.

Hey Joey, here's what you guys need for that plank-wing combat event... It's called a "Rayzor".

The CS .061 engine that is in the Fly R/C review (by Andrew Coholic a fellow Canadian) is a sport engine, not the CS or CZ speed engine to which Paul is referring.

I have two of these CS .061's and am quite pleased with them. They are not Norvel or TD killers but are a good all round sport engine. Much like the Brodak .049 (also a CS engine) good improvements come if you can make a turbo plug button and use turbo plugs as Larry Reneger (sp?) has noted many times.

Here is a link to picture of the typical CS .061 sport engine (actually the Brodak but they are the same engine):
