Something else is that with a 4-stroke you will find MUCH less slime left on your plane at the end of the flight. There are MANY times when I don't even bother wiping them down before I throw them in the car at the end of the day (In fact, I RARELY clean them)
Upon further thought, the extra money for a 4 stroke is well worth it when it comes to cleaning all the oil off from a 2 stroke. I just flew a .61 2 stroke and it had so much oil all over it I was about to throw the whole plane in the trash can. The money you save in paper towels makes up for the difference in price for a 4 stroke. Well, almost!
