have you tried the CB 46?
If so, how did you like it?
I ran mine once, and I'll tell you: If you flood that sucker use a chiken stick!
A flooded CB 46 has a not-so-nice way of dealing with fingers...
Tell me all about it.
Bless ya!

Ion;
I have a Bucaneer 746P on the bench that will be the test bed for the engine.
Initial impression based on Len's observation:
1. Casting looks crude. For a CL stunt engine, it is a bit heavy for the displacement. The builder might want to consider a different mold - one that sheds some of the excess case metal. Look at the ST G21-46 as a good example. There is just enough metal there to hold the engine together, and not much more.
2. On the good side, the machine work looks good. Will have to run it a while to comment on the quality control inside and the run characteristics.

They will all bite you. Usually, the higher the compression, the nastier the bite for a flooded engine.

Bob,
I spoke yesterday with Dudas, a guy that has been using the CB .46 for somr timee, and he told me that in order to perform well it needs 2 hours (!) on the bench.
It makes sense, the thing is darn tight when you get near the TDC!
I saw him flying once more, and I really liked what I saw. 
Duda's "Cheyenne" flies as if it had a ST .51 on the nose...
