Default RE: I prefer 2 strokes

I'm a four stroke fan. I've only got two planes with 3 strokes on them, a Quicke 500(version 1) and a trainer. All of my later planes are fourstroke powered. Why, that's the way I fly. If I want to go really fast, IE the Quickee 500, then it has to be a two stroke. Torque related flying. or just plane old punching holes in the sky requires a four stork. They sound better and the clean up aftre flying is eaiser. They use less fuel. Did I mention the sound???

The chances of the two stroke going the way of the Doodo bird isn't very high. They have a promentent place in model avaiation. Where they are king, no four stroke can chalenge them. The inverse is also true. Both engines have a place in the way we fly, depending on how we fly.
