Default RE: OS 40 Surpass converts to what in a 2 cycle

It's probably a little more powerful than that in real world use. The fact that big slow turning props convert horsepower to thrust more efficiently than small high speed props do goes quite a ways in closing the gap between four and two stroke engines. This is also the reason for the popularity of gear reduction systems for electrics.
