Default RE: Plane vs Heli engine?

Remember heli engines produce their power at a lot higher RPM than airplane engines run props. My os 50s turn 17000 rpm.

I suppose its possible and would require gearing changes etc but the only 4 stroke heli I ever saw couldn't get out of its own way.

I agree if had the appropriate power to weight ratio it would be cool though.
