Hi
I was just wondering if a two stroke would be better than a four stroke for areobatics?
I know realflight simulator is not a perfect simulator, but I noticed that when I put a four stroke on the CAP 232, it becomes much more difficult to do torque rolls with. The same airplane with a two stroke is much easier to do torque rolls on.
So, is it the same way on the real R/C airplanes? Is it REALLY more difficult to do menuevers like torque rolls if you have a four stoke, or is it just a flaw in realflight?
Thanks,
Rob

Hi
I have tried changing the prop size on the four stroke in realflight to the same size thats on the 2 stroke 46. now the four stroke acts very similar to the two stroke- a lot easier to torque roll. The thing is that I thought a bigger prop with a smaller pitch (say 14x5) would work better to torque roll with. Thats sxactly opposite here. The prop that works best on the two strokes or four strokes seems to be like a 11x7 or 11x8. Is this true for real R/C aircraft?? this is exactly the opposite of what I thought!
Thanks,
Rob
