Can it be measured that I can't say however the possibility does exist.
I'm not with you there. The hot exhausts are not in contact with the foam. Either you let them out behind the plane via a thurst tube or directly if the turbine are back mounted. Heat simply is not an issue. However a turbine makes ALOT of more power then the EDF setup. There fore not every foam plane are suited for turbine use. This Viperjet does fine though
