Default RE: 2 Stroke V. 4 Stroke

I had a asp 120 fs, was a good engine, reliable and sounded great, think asp/super custom and magnum are the same?.

Bought my first 20 cc gasser to replace theasp asthe engine was not quite strong enough for the model it was fittedto.

After the first flight the asp 120 went up for sale, the asp was throwing a 16 6 mas, the 20cc is throwing a 17 6 wooden prop at a better rpm with far more thrust. the power was amazing!.

Maybe a top of the range (expensive)125 fsglow engine can be compaired power wise but bang for buck with cheap running and total reliability and ease to use with a comparible all up weight (fuel load etc) gas is the king for me 20cc and up.

Magnum needs to get there finger out (and others) and produce a similar priced gas engine, and if they want to really be ahead of the game produce a cheap four stroke gas engine, as the ony selling point of the bigglowfour strokes is the sound over a two stroke gas.

And I know there is already a four stroke gas engine availible, but it is far from cheap.

Cant beat a four stroke sound, in a couple of years I hope to have a a few cheap, reliable, economical four sroke gas engines, best of all worlds as far as im concerned.
