Default RE: Why 2 strokes?

Actually strangely enough e-power is not as big here as it is in America. Weird, huh? Japan seems ideal for it. In fact I was the first person at our field to get a high performance electric plane, the first person to get a LiPo pack, and the first person to get a brushless motor. That being said, I think e-power is set for an explosion here.

I like e-power, and fly my Tantrum a lot, but there is a different impact level with a fuel powered plane. Seems there is a time for noise and mess. Honestly I would hate to be without either my electric or fuel planes.

Back to the subject at hand though. Interesting comments. I've got an OS 32SX in my Taco. I've heard that is not a very good 2-stroke for fun-fly though. I'd like to try one of those Webras I hear people raving about. The most popular engines for fun-fly planes here are the YS 63 and the Saito FA-56F (A special fun fly version fo the Saito 56) Both seem good, but pricey.
