I have recently been looking at all the Hangar 9 ARFs and was wondering why most people are going with the saito 100 vs any of the recommended 2 strokes.
Well, most folks aren't. At least around here.
What is the big advantage? Does the 2 stroke have as much power? The only thing I could think of was the difference in sound and maybe prop size. Anybody have any other ideas?
Advantage? For which, 2 or 4?
The advantages of a 2 are many:
Lighter
Less parts (wear, breakage, maintenance, adjustment)
Almost always cheaper
More powerful
No special nitro content required
and a few more
You've pretty much covered the advantages of a 4.
