Default RE: Four Stroke Vs. Two Stroke

I, like Harry, have never considered the "flying power" of fourstrokes and two strokes as having nearly the discrepancy that many people think. Most HP figures, (on most two strokes), are gotten using a prop that is unrealistic to fly with. I like Horizons idea of a prop range then a benchmark prop and rpm. The Saito .56 is a surprisingly powerful engine on a plane.
