On the bench: New CS .30 inline twin.

Propeller: RAM 10 x 6

Fuel mix: None specified. I used my standard sport diesel brew; 25% castor oil, 35% ether, 38.5% kerosene, and 1.5% IPN.

First fire up: The needle was wound out 2 1/2 turns. It actually fired 3rd flick after choke priming. It starved for fuel and stopped. It hand started easily after I wound the needle out to 4 1/2 turns. The spray bar inlet orifice is only 1/64 " (0.4 mm) diameter. I conclude this is why the needle has to be well backed out. Well filtered fuel will be essential.

Subsequent re-starts were acheived within a few vigorous flicks of a good choked prime. In all, a real possecat. The aficionados in the "club gallery" were impressed.

Six five minute runs were completed. Setting was very rich and undercompressed. Complete cool down between runs. Exhaust efflux was light honey in colour. No signs of distress. Session ended when rain closed in.

Running in will be completed when time and weather permit. If all progresses as anticipated I will post rpm performance. Short iPhone video link of engine running:

Looks cute, would be nice with a little video of running.
How is the internal design made, do the two cylinders fire simultaneously?

No, they alternate via a central drum having two inlets machined into it.

I had a problem with my CS Twin while completing running in. Email below explains resolution. I am impressed that CS are standing behind the one year no-quibble warranty they offer on their web site.

Dear Derek,

I am so sorry for late reply cause I am just came back form travelling.Please send this engine to Zhengzhou and we will repair it for you free charger.

Yours

Dear Mr Peng

The OT Twin engine I recently bought from you has been damaged. I need to return it for service.

I believe I have sheared the drive from rear crankshaft, to the coupler which engages the front crankshaft.

This occurred possibly due to over compression of one cylinder. I will exercise great care in future.

Please reply to this email and advise whether I should send the engine to your Zhengzhou office, or to your Shanghai office.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Regards

Good for CS in standing behind their product. Note that there's now an in-depth review of this engine on Ron Chernich's Model Engine News website. Derek's problem is noted there along with Ron's suggested fix. Once sorted, the engine is quite a powerhouse!

A further run of my CS twin .30. No problems experienced post re-build.

Easy starting, and good performance on a RAM 10x6 propeller.

My thanks to Adrian Duncan and Maris Dislers for their insight on how to get the best from the engine. The advice about checking the exhaust efflux with fingers was particularly helpful.

What's the black gunk pouring out from near the carburetor on the video?

What are you using as oil in the fuel that makes it that dark colour? It doesn't look like castor.

So many questions!

Very astute observation Ray.

Oil? Combatkid's castor at 25% b/v. More than required, but the engine is young, and I still do not fully trust it. That said, it does run well.

I noticed the blackish ooze. It did that on the first fast run during the first session as well.

I think the light colour of the bench laminate makes it look worse than it is. It is more dark blue/green (dye in the KCB kero?).

If you look at the side of the fuel tank the true colour of the exhaust oil is more akin to "dark honey".

It did seem to clean up in the run after the one I video'd and posted.

Ah so the "kids" castor has a honey colour. It may be Veterinary castor then. Not that there's anything wrong with that. A clubmate runs it in his diesels and it has a lovely colour, constancy and feel.

Costs about the same as Castrol M though so it's not worth changing.

Is the discharge raw fuel coming out of the carby screw? I'm guessing that it screws into the crankcase like the single version. CS are notorious for sloppy venturi threads amongst other things.

May need a gasket?

What a pity Tom Ridley doesn't make an Oliver twin.

Oh well.

I'd say you have nailed it Ray.

Dark kero, plus a darkish castor oil.

As a natural product there is seasonal variation to the castor oil. I did hear that veterinarial grade castor oil has a darker tinge to it than pharmaceutical or cosmetic grades. It does seem to be very good oil. I have a dry patch on one hand and it always seems to improve when I rub it with the oily rag after a session!

Kerosene. Is there such a thing as undyed, unadulterated kerosene any more?

There are a lot of things about the engine that could be improved. That said, for what it cost, it does perform well. On mine, one pot has a little SPI going on as well!

The intake venturi does screw in to the crankcase. Just like the CS .15 OT. Next time I run it I will look more closely to see if there is leakage from the thread on the venturi boss or the spraybar mounting holes.

I wonder if Tom Ridley has run his hands over one?

Actually it may be the NVA screw itself. Of the six or so CS diesels I currently own only one didn't need it replaced completely.

Last I heard Tom was very busy keeping up with the demand for hot .19 diesel combat motors so there probably isn't a twin on the drawing board.

The Olivers did produce some twins though, I'll see if I can find some pictures.

FWIW I believe PAW are considering an in-line twin. Don't know what capacity, and whether it will be a regular production item, or only available to order...............

The Olivers built a few twins. I don't think any of 'em made it into production though.

Here's a pic of their 2.5cc reed valve prototype built up I suspect from 1.5cc Cub parts.

They also built a .40 twin prototype around Major components.

I don't know about inline twins, but they were playing around with a flat twin made from a couple of .19s. Not aware of any plans for production though.

Good to see your CS running so nicely, Derek.

That's probably what I vaguely remembered then-there was a fleeting reference somewhere in one of the UK magazines about a possible PAW twin, and now that I think about it-I think they did mention .19 in the text-that would make for a .38-which might be a very useable sizes..........
That being said-there WAS an in-line twin using two PAW 19 cylinder assemblies featured in the 'Latest Engine News' in Aeromodeller sometime in the late 70s or early 80's-a homebuilt job by a Mr Turner (rather appropriate surname when you think about it.........)

I have vague recollections of seeing a PAW 'V' twin but perhaps it was fan made and not done by the factory.
