Do you have a question about the CTSW and is the answer not in the manual?
Questions and answers
I have a ctsw 2003, the o-rings on the fuel tank fillers need replacing. Have tried several locally (Australia), either too big or too small, results in fuel stain over the top of the wings. Any idea where I can get some?
