I was just wondering the other day why they don't make the four stroke model engines with an oil control ring, and a crankcase with oil in it lubricating by the old splash method. Is there a reason I'm not thinking of??

most planes run what they call a dry sump. The oil is in a tank and pumped in and out of the engine. That way when you are in a climb the engine will have oil. and if it is up side down. To do it with a RC it would be a pain in the butt.
