RE: 2 Stroke or 4 Stroke? Why?
Eric
This is why I'm torn between the two, I've been flying my friends Focus with a 1.40 OS and just love the way the engine pulls and the lack of vibration is whats got me to thinking about using this engine in a new Focus 2. I flew pattern when it wasn't turn around and made the transition to turn around for a few years and actually love what I thought I'd hate. I was forced to quit for about 10 years. I was flying 4 strokes in a Jekell when everyone else was flying 2 strokes, late 80's btw. I built a Prophecy with a 1.20AC YS and didn't fly it much. Loved the way it pulled but really hated the vibration even with a Hyde mount. Seems it was always shaking something loose. I've really noticed the lack of crisp throttle response from the 2 stroke when compared to the response of a 4 stroke. I intend to fly in Advance this coming year when I can make a contest and Looking at the sequence it appears to be a power hungry class. Given the cost of a 1.60DZ and the cost of a 1.40 OS and the cost of running the two I'm leaning towards the OS. Do you think the OS will be fine in this class with a Focus 2?
