RE: 4 STROKE VS. 2 STROKE!!
The whole point of all this is the fact that there is a lot of misinformation, fallacys, urban myths, and just plain old BS surrounding four strokes verses two strokes.
Think that a four stroke puts out more torque than a two stroke? Put the prop you run on your four stroke on a two stroke of the same displacement and measure the rpm. My bet is that the two stroke will spin it faster. In order to do that, it has to make more torque.
Think that four strokes are quiet? Walk a mile away from your flying field and see which engines you still hear!
The torque needed to turn a prop quadruples when the rpm is doubled. Because of this, it takes more torque to spin a 10x6 14,000 rpm than it does to turn a 12x6 at 9000 rpm. Not understanding this fact about props leads to the common misconception that four strokes make more torque than two strokes do. The optimum prop for maximum performance out of a two stroke is usually smaller than for an equal displacement four stroke but it is not because the two stroke makes less torque. It's because it takes a lot of torque to spin even small props at 14-16000 rpm.
When you get up to the 1.20 size and up engines, the two strokes are tuned to pull best at under 10,000 rpm and hence they use the same or even larger props than their four stroke counterparts do.
Sometimes a little humorous sarcasm is the best way to get a point across.
