Actually we have been running 4 cycle engines with fuel and oil mixture in model airplanes for many years, (look up SAITO engines). Thet have some pretty amazing little power plants, glow power, gasoline power, single-cylinder, multi-cylinder even five cylinder radials. I have a couple four stroke and one radial in my collection. They have a smooth low end with lots of torque to swing bigger (read scale) props. Two cycles just have to rev to high to make power to swing those big props. They are very popular and very desirable on the flight line
PS - I have been super happy with my old Mantis (Echo 2 cycle). After 18 years though it needs replacement...
