I'm thinking of getting a 4 stroke but one of the guys at the field said not to. He says more to go wrong with them and if you damage it it would cost the same to replace it over trying to fix it. Also, he said 4 strokes are not for beginners! I'm not a beginner, just don't have 20 years under my belt. Then they are too complicated and will just cause me trouble. He swears by 2 strokes. Are 4 strokes that complicated? But almost all the old guys have 4 strokes. Why can't a young flyer use one? I'm not young (28) just young to them. Why do they keep trying to stear me away from a 4 stroke.
