Title: Which engine?
Description: 2 stroke verses 4 stroke verses gas

I have a Hanger 9 P-40 that I recently bought. It's a plane that I have always wanted to fly and maybe I'll have the experiance in 6-12 months. So It is put aside in hope to fly someday area. I prefer a gas engine for it but which one will fit? :newstuff:

A lot of people prefer the 4-stroke (me personaly) because of the power, the realistic sound, and the fact that a 4-stroke will start upside down (most warbirds have inverted mounted engiens) without flooding, here a 2-stroke might flood almost will everytime. If it is the .60 size a lot of peole are putting in a Saito .91 or Saito .100 4-stroke. Here is a link with a lot of info..

Hope that helps..
