Let me help you out here Dar

. How about we call it an omega Ω scavenged engine

. Feel free to copyright the name

Why, thank you, Brian!

But I think I will stay with my current nomenclature...

A 'baffle piston', 'cross-flow' engine, is no less 'loop-scavenged' than is a Schnürle ported engine...
In fact, it is even more so.

The term used in model magazines (RCM and MAN) is the term I prefer.
So, as far as I am concerned; a loop-scavenged engine has a baffle piston and a Schnürle ported engine is just that.

There's no need to translate. When one says an engine is 'Schnürle ported', there's no need to also describe how the exhaust gasses are scavenged...
