Lots of people don't like them. Since a good two stroke is not that much less, and some cost more, than a four stroke. I don't think cost is the reason. I like two stokes on sleek airplanes, like them to go fast so a good two stroke does that very well. I prefer four strokes on scale airplanes that don't need to fly fast but need the pull for a good climb out, they also sound more realistic. I prefer average powered two strokes on sport planes because there is less to worry about and perform as well as a four stroke.

That's exactly why people like them I haven't heard many real planes with engines that whine at 15k rpms.
A fast two stroke getting on a pipe at 15K+ gives me goosebumps. Nothing else like it.

Yeah me too! I've just had my first Sport-Jett experience. You can guarantee that at a flying field where trainers and slow scale models are the norm, an SJ-.90L unloading 2000 rpm from a static rpm already in the fourteens in a low pass at full throttle is going to get attention.

My Jett .90 Torque version does well with the Hangar 9 Corsair Also.

No video, so we can't compare to Richards. Lets just say, it hauled it around the field very nicely yesterday.

Your Corsair will be faster with the dummy radial engine in place. Right now your cowl is just a big air scoop, slowing the plane down.

Yep,

I will get it installed. Just want to make sure everything is working first.
