RE: 2stroke vrs. 4stroke
The main advantage that I like is the more instantaneous power and more power at lower RPMs. I like to fly pattern and I don't really want a screaming 2 stroke for up lines, etc. You have to wait for a 2 stroke to rev up and put out power.
I have a couple of 2 strokes only because they are really good engines. If not for that, I would only have 4 strokes.
