I know for a fact that my Atomic 4 will NOT run on one cylinder, and will
only make about 700 rpm on 2.  I get 1100 on 3, and 1350 on 3 + 1 with low
compression (my current state).  When the compression was good on all 4, and
teh batteries were charged up, I got 1650 rpm.  All in reasonably calm winds
& flat water.
