That's basically the main question. I use the X45 as an example because this turbine seems really small and lightweight. So I wonder if, with all the new technology and new models that are available on the market today, we can compare the flying characteristics of a Viper with a M100 and a Hot with an X45.
As you said, with more wing loading the plane are not as easy or as stable as bigger models. This was a fact, but as the wing loading on smaller model can be compared to big ones today, is it still the case ?

Thanks Henke for sharing your turbine conversion, the Avios is pretty impressive and there is a lot of options on the foamy jets to convert. But I am looking for a tough model if I'm going to put a turbine in it. I have a few EDF jets foamies (I have maindened my Havec Xe yesterday) but they are not as resistant as the fiber jets.
You always have to be careful on how you handle the plane or how you secure it in your car etc ...
