Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the newest
and one of the most technically advanced 2-stroke
model airplane engines in the world. Whether
you are new to the sport of model aviation or an
experienced flier, you will enjoy the features of the
new Evolution® Engines Control Line (CL) Engine.
The Evolution .60NX CL Engine is designed to be
the most powerful yet controllable in its class,
extremely easy to start and operate, and provide
years of enjoyable service. It incorporates many
purpose built design features optimized for its use
in the precision aerobatics arena; unique porting
on cylinder liner for stunt, unique crankcase
to support the porting in the liner, optimized
combustion chamber design and a relocated needle
valve assembly to fit most everyone’s current
installations. Add to that the extreme lightweight
of this powerhouse and it is a winner from the word
go. Every feature is designed to ensure success
with your new engine.
This user’s guide is intended to provide the basic
information to operate and maintain your Evolution
CL Engine.
Important: While the Evolution engine is extremely
easy to operate, if this is your first experience flying
a model airplane, it is highly recommended that
you have the help of an experienced modeler during
the first few flights. Your local hobby store or flying
club can put you in touch with an experienced pilot
in your area.

Mounting the Engine
Securely tighten all engine mounting screws and re-check tightness
before each flying session.
All model airplanes include an engine mount of some
type. It is extremely important that the engine be securely
mounted to the airplane’s engine mount. Follow the
instructions included with the airplane for mounting
the engine.
WARNING: Before each flying session, check
that all engine mounting screws are securely
tightened.
Installing the Muffler
Using the included muffler mounting screws and lock
washers, attach your choice muffler with the included
hex wrench. Be sure the lock washers are placed over the
screws and that one gasket is placed between the muffler
and the engine. A second gasket is included as a spare.
Securely tighten both screws with moderate torque. The
exhaust outlet of the muffler can be rotated to allow the
exhaust outlet to be repositioned for various applications.
Failure to do so could result in product malfunction,
damage and injury.
WARNING: This product can become extremely
hot when in use, which could lead to burns.
NOTICE: Only use this product with parts specified in the
product literature.
Note: After five runs, retighten the muffler mounting
screws. Heat and vibration from these first few runs can
cause the gasket to compress. Once the muffler screws
are retightened, they will remain tight and leak-free until
the muffler is removed. Also, if you have chosen the tubestyle muffler, tighten the muffler thru-bolt at this time
as well—loosen the lock nut on the back of the muffler,
tighten the thru-bolt via the screwhead at the front of the
muffler then retighten the lock nut at the rear.
EVO Team Tip:
One of the many causes of a muffler loosening is
the paper gasket material becoming crushed by
The muffler mounting accessory package includes mounting screws
(2), lock washers (2), muffler gaskets (2) and an L- wrench.
the muffler mounting to the engine.This leads to
the screws actually loosening on their own. The
surfaces, engine crankcase mount and muffler
mounting face, are machined surfaces, so there
should be little, if any, leaks between these two
surfaces. We suggest mounting the muffler without
the included gasket.
1. Loosen the lock nut on the back of the muffler and then
loosen the assembly screw.
2. Rotate the rear half of the muffler to the desired
position.
3. Tighten the assembly screw first and then tighten the
lock nut.
WARNING: Read and follow all instructions and
precautions before use.
