RE: 4 stroke
I use the same fuel in both - 15% Cool Power.
Starting is pretty much the same - Flip the prop a few times, add glow igniter, flip the prop. The only difference is with a 4 stroke, the prop will only reach the compression stroke every other turn instead of every turn.
As for running, they run quieter with a much nicer sound, and they don't spit gunk all over your plane.
