I am looking for information on the major (and minor) differences between the two beside how they operate and how they sound. I know nothing about the 4 strokes.
I like the sound of the 4 stroke and I am wondering what kinds maintence is needed, precautions, starting, storing, things like that.
I currently have experience with the 2 stroke but I would like to use a 4 stroke on my next Glow plane and I am looking for info
Thanks RCU group
Unless you want something really small, YS is hard to beat for power output, field manners and flat out reliability. Their 63-70 on the low end are just terrific as are the 110-115. Their middle of the road 140 sport is really simple to set-up and operate. On the high end, their 160-170 and their latest 175 DZ are true thoroughbreds.
Just a little more sophisticated on fuel set up but if you follow the instructions you should have success. These engines truly love nitro but I've run my 63 on 15% just fine. My 120's and 140's were usually run on 22% nitro and loved it. I no longer fly large 4 strokes only the small one. Just personal taste. For large stuff I've gone gas all the way
