I've been flying for over 10yrs. I have owned exactly two 4-stroke engines. I sold one and wrecked the other one. Never bought another and don't plan too.

I have 2-stroke glow engines from .46 too .75 size. Nothing bigger in glow. Too expensive to run on glow fuel and the carbs suck.

I have a BUNCH of gasoline 2-strokes. Some of them have never been flown. I got more engines than planes and money, but I love my gassers. Biggest one is 110cc conversion from a Stihl demo saw. It's an animal!! The biggest one that I'm flying right now is a 75cc conversion engine. I got Zenoah, BME, Fox, all kinds of different weedies and chainsaws. I've had ZDZ engines in the past too.

4-stroke? [sm=lol.gif] Who needs 'em? Not me. They are expensive. They have more moving parts. They aren't as powerful as a 2-stroke. They need more maintenance. Shall I continue...............? [sm=lol.gif]

4-strokes are for guys who like to tinker.

Don't give me that horse poop about "more torque" for 3D. I got 40 size 3D planes with 2-stroke engines that do perfectly fine.

"4-strokes will rev quicker because of the low end torque " blah blah blah blah Really? Has anyone ever put a 14-6 prop on a Saito 91 AND a ST .90 and used a stop watch to see which one hits full RPM faster? I didn't think so..........

Give me a 2-stroke ANY DAY. [8D]
