The Irvine JetStream carbs are the most linear, cleanest midrange and smoothest transitioning carbs, bar none. I have them from the little bushing .20 to the above mantioned 1.50, all the carbs are an exercise in perfection. To put anything less on an Irvine makes the Irvine less.

This is a totally new engine, whos to say its not better???
The bottom line is you have never run one of these engine's and you are guessing that its not as good as the older version.
At the end of the day its down to personal prefrence, some people will love it and some will hate it, you cant please everyone, but i think you are taking a very narrow minded view by judging it with out actually running one.
And lets be honest most aero moddellers dont know what there throttle stick is for anyway!!!! they just seem to stick it at full throttle untill they want to land, in that case it does not matter what carb is on it.

well they are made to an Irvine design so there not the same, also look at the prices RRP on an O.S 46 AX is 119.99 and the RRP on an Irvine 46 is 89.99, i know that the retail outlets will lower the price but there seems to be a big difference to me, O.S quality Irvine design and a bargain price, sounds like a deal to me
But i dont think Ripmax would mind which you buy as Ripmax sell both!!!

Yeah, but it ain't an Irvine, is it. Might as well buy an OS dude!
