Somebody's going to have to inform those TOC guys who fly big gassers that they are going to have to stop doing all those 3-D stunts with those planes, the big gas burning two strokes in those planes just don't have the throttle response to do 3-D.
I said stop that!!! You're not supposed to be able to do that, you have a two stroke in that plane!!
LOL. The "big" 2-stroke gas engines "mimic" the smaller glow 4-strokes. They are swinging big, honkin props at 7,200 or 8,500 RPM top ends.
What torque does for you, in realistic flight situations, is give you a great mid-range. High RPM gives you lots of speed at top end, but high torque gives you low-end power and acceleration. Like driving around in second gear vs. fourth gear. It also gives you the ability to go up and down at approximately the same speed for IMAC and other pattern maneuvers.
