It has been a pleasure to read all the testing and dreaming of flying behind cheap industrials.
What would be even more interesting is how they will behave in a mass minimized aircraft.
I have been in a small Chech aicraft with a japanese two-cylinder four stroke and that was not OK.
A motorglider with a four cylinderVW was OK.
The big jump in homebuilding was post WW2 where old lycontinlin engines could be had for nothing and France was full of left VWs.
When we look for present UAV and drone engines there are next to nothing but two stroke boxers offered.
As I se it it boils down to specific mass.
