Hi,

 

It was explained some time ago here why two stroke

engines are not suitable for aircraft use. I don't remember

exactly what was the reason, but the two stroke engines

weren't suitable for traffic pattern like use. It has something

to do with RPM and the oil lubrication which was lost

in certain conditions in a traffic pattern no matter how well and carefully the engine would have been serviced and managed.

Despite of maintenance, they are generally considered

unreliable here. Quite much all of those who have flown

those early day ultralights (microlights) with two stroke

Rotax engines, have done at least dozen forced landings.

It just isn't very good figure. That is why even class A

ultralights, in other words the Trikes are mainly equipped

nowadays with four stroke engines and no-one wants to get

into a plane equipped with a two stroke engine.
