I'm all for the "whatever floats your boat" but a turbine in a CL plane. What's the freekin' point of that. But hey, I don't see the point in CL anyway.
To me, it was an old school step to flying RC. Simulators have replaced that step, except the knowledge gained in engine tuning and control surface setup, etc.
I realize that there is a very large control lone contingent, as MA pages are generally monopolized with this "exciting" facet of the hobby[:'(]

I do support every facet of this hobby, as what's good for one, is good for all. But, CL and the rubber powered peanut stuff never ceases to just boggle me.
