Kontax KS90R Solar Ross Yoke

Ten years ago i bought my first Solar LTD engine from Kontax, i thought it would be a good time to add to my collection with this model:

The obligatory grass shot. ;)

I love the motion on this engine very much. It runs really nicely with a pleasant tick and is up to Kontax's usual build quality standards.
It ran straight out of the box too.  ;D

You'll do better to find another high quality LTD engine from elsewhere save for maybe the Carl Aero models.
Your nose is before your eyes, so trust it first!

Kontax engines are fabulous.

I'm very happy with all of mine!  ;D

I'm running mine more off my USB warming plates now winter is here, quite relaxing having them slowly tick over.  8)
