Re: [Titanaircraft] 2 stroke engines

"thinking if i should save and just buy a second hand Jabiru 3300"

I'd say "yes" except that owners like them so much there are very few

On the other hand, you'll find far more used 2-strokes for sale with the
phrase "no longer needed; upgraded to a 4-stroke." Draw your own
conclusions.
