Re: where is the hand crank

Some people just don't know a good Ole school joke. You should have asked them if this here fancy sport car has spark plug or do you have to control the speed by shutting off fuel to the different cylinders.

Re: where is the hand crank

I have a T-28 Trojan piston (9-cylinder radial) on my garage workbench just to remind me of the similarities, although if that piston were in the CS I think it would equate to somewhere around 1200 cubic inches!

Re: where is the hand crank

I did an engine swap and dropped in a Rolls Royce Merlin. Haven't had any issues since. Also added some trunk flaps to get into those tight parking spaces a little slower as the CS is so nasty in a stall :-)

Re: where is the hand crank

Make sure you do your flaps flair to land. I wouldn't want the ground effect to prevent you from getting down in time.
