i am not knocking either. 10 years from now we all maybe only be able to buy electric stuff and and anything running on a liquid fuel will be on a very limited "antique" License to fly. i sure hope it doesnt get that way but sure is moving that way. heck read this new stuff in batteries comig out:

I'm with you on that. Diversity is what keeps things moving forward in this hobby. Maybe the future of jet propulsion is a blending of the two technologies like the fellow in Europe who mated a Wren 44 to a Schubeler DS-94 HST fan (no electric motor) and more than doubled the thrust of what the Wren 44 could produce alone. Who knows?
