Default RE: 4-cycle sizing????

I typically multiply the two-stroke displacement by 1.4 to get a workable four-stroke displacement.

Example: An airplane recommends a .46 2-stroke

46 * 1.4 = 64.4 So, I might choose a Saito .65 for it.

This doesn't work for all aircraft types (high-performance aircraft, Pattern, etc..) but it works fairly well with sport models.
