2-stroke engines can be just as if not more reliable than 4-strokes. Look
at the big rigs on the road, a very large number of them are 2-stroke
engines pulling very heavy loads for hundreds of thousands of miles.


But those are diesel and made specifically for trucking.

Fetters has said repeatedly in this thread that the engine had to be modified
to be used.

The question I have is didn't this helicopter have autorotation? If it did how
does a sudden engine failure make for a fatal crash? If it didn't it was a
major design flaw.
