True! Here's a pic of me about 3 1/2 years ago just before I saw sense and replaced the EDF setup with a Wren 44 Gold. The jet now takes off 1lb lighter and lands around 3lb lighter than it did as an EDF, Plus it's cheaper to run, and there's no worry regarding the aggressive throttle management needed to protect lipos, esc and motor of an EDF setup.
