Default 4 stroke is it the right engine?

First of all, the TOC planes are powered with gas engines not glow engines.

The four stroke engine can offer a more instanious power control at medium high throttle settings than a 2 stroke. This is needed in 3D flying. 4 strokes have a lot of torque. But to utilize it for 3D you need a light weight prop.

Enjoy,
