If you are interested, I've written a series of articles on two stroke engines. The first series is in 4 parts on High Power Two Stroke Design:

The second series is just starting on the history, design , and building of model racing two strokes. The first article is at http://namba.com/content/library/propwash/2018/october/14/ and it discusses the history of the nitro engine. The following articles will go into the details of building high power model glow engines.

Wow thanks for that will check it out.
Being a very long time aero modeller I was looking at the transfer ports on a OS61 engine and there are three of them. The middle one is opersite the exhaust outlet, and opens well before the other two !! I guess this is to scavenge the exhaust out quicker???
