In a mono I guess you need more torque than actual top end power compared to a hydro, caused by greater weight and wetted area causing more friction?
With 4-cycle engines, longer stroke will give you more torque, but it is not that simple with 2-cycle from what I understand?
So any suggestions for a type of .21 engine or brand for a relatively light weight mono hull (Kyosho FMR 21V SII). I am interested in a reliable, easy handling but not necessarily the most powerful engine.
Good availability of spares is important.
So the contenders from my point of view are:
Novarossi
CMB
OPS
Picco or Rossi (may be?)
Regarding Novarossi, in Europe they have no less than 16 different .21 models, so it is a bit confusing for a newbe.
I have been thinking of a "long stroke" Bonito or should I rather settle for a 3, 5 or 7 port marine sport version?
Any answer and suggestions are appreciated.
Best regards
