RE: Turbines
The question is why not have all the power you can get...... your only job is then learning how to harness that power, and put it to good use. With my Bob Cat I like to do touch and goes, touch and goes on relatively short runways requires good preplaning and as much extra reliable power as you can get. Straight up climb outs after a 25 - 30 takeoff rolls, also require raw power. If you've ever flown a high wing loaded D/F powered Jet model from a high altitude Field on a hot summer day you'll really come to appreciate having all the power you can get.
