Default 2 Stroke vs. 4 Stroke

How about this analogy:

Comparing these glow engines to carrying water up to camp from the river (no snickering...)

The 2-stroke engine will carry a lot of small buckets.
high rpms = lots of buckets
smaller prop = smaller buckets

The 4-stroke engine will carry fewer large buckets.
lower rpms = fewer buckets
larger prop = larger buckets
