I've got the 2 cycle bug going through me. Original Message Dec 5, 2011 5:56 pm
December is here and I'm anxiously waiting for some good snow to arrive. I've been bit by the 2 cycle bug recently. I have the Toro 421QE, which is the 4 cycle version of the 221Q. I thought it may be redundant to pick up a used 221Q so I've been looking into getting a Toro Powerlite. Plus, I can hang the Powerlite up on a wall. the 221Q is too big and heavy to do so.
Anyways, anybody got a recommendation for a compact SS two-cycle? If not, please provide a 7 step sure fire way to cure the 2 cycle habit. :)

A bit off topic but you guys mentioning the RC stuff made me curious about some of the terms. Googling arond go me to UTube and I came across RC jet powered planes. Never knew there was such a thing as micro jet engines complete with pre-ignition starters. The first one I tripped on was a RC of a SR71 Blackbird and amazing.

There's some crazy RC stuff, like a large scale B-52 bomber with multiple jet engines on the wings. It takes two guys to fly these things. That's some serious hobby. It makes Honda $8000 snowblower looks pale by comparison.
