StopStart, the new CS95 currently being trialled for flight by non-FJ crews is identical to the standard stuff. Same weight, same pattern, same buttons etc etc. I have heard that a detachable knife/cutter patch is in development too, so that it will not be necessary to fix one to the CS95 itself and give away your anonymity.
The only way to tell it apart without reading the label is if you do something silly, like sticking wings on it!
And for those who jump into their current cabbage kit at the first available opportunity, it doesn't burn like the proverbial candle - its much, much worse than that, it goes up like its made of petrol-soaked paper, but, worst of all, remains burning once the source of ignition is gone, so even a quick flash fire, that you might have survived in normal flying kit, could be lethal.
