Firstly, Hi folks, new to the forum, just joined, and hoping some of you out there can help me.
I've been flying aircraft for years using Nitro 2 Stroke engines (mainly OS engines).
However, I'm scratch building a vintage aircraft and would like to delve into using a 4 stroke engine (which I've never used or seen before).
The reason for going down the four stroke route, I'm very keen to get a 'low pitch sounding' engine (something throbby).
I've previously been advised I would be much more satisfied using a four stroke to accomplish this.
Also, for the weight and size of my aircraft, I need a .40 size engine apparently.So my question being to you all, please could anybody advise me on:
a/ which engine would give me the most bass (so to speak)?
b/ what fuel to use for four strokes in general?
c/ any other advice?
Very many thanks in advance, much appreciate any advise you all could give me.
Chris 🙂

Good Afternoon to you all.
Firstly apologies for the delay replying, I've been away. May I just say thanks to you all for your replies, rather amazing to get such a conversation going, and to read the intricate's you speak about.
To add to my original post, I'm building a "Super 60" (60" wingspan hence the name). Quite the sizeable model, very much looking forward to getting it finished and in the air.
I will be flying from my local beach, where I've flown my previous models from.
Also good news, since writing my original question, I've now the proud owner of a OS FS-40 Four stroke engine.
Can't wait to get that fired up, hoping to notice a significantly lower pitch noise fingers crossed (no comments above about noise unfortunately).
Thanks again,
Chris 🙂
