Default RE: 4-Strokes for Beginners??

Expecting a 30 to 40 percent savings in fuel by simply going to a four stroke engine is wishful thinking at best. This is not a viable expectation in the real world at all and its more likely you not experiance any measurable savings in the long run.

Four strokes are not an upgrade at all used in the wrong mission and primary flight training is one of them.
