cost of getting into turbines.
Mugenkidd,
You are missing the point here. Fact is there are several better options out there for the budding turbine guy. We have the "trainer" type airplanes, Roos, hotspots, blades, rookies, Bobcats, etc... that have been DESIGNED for turbines. Then you have a manufacturer claiming that his models are ready for turbines with a few minor modifications. These same MINOR modifications are not designed into the kit and are not even advertised on the manufacturers website. Hell with minor modifications you can bolt a turbine on to a trainer forty. Is it safe? Maybe if you use common sense and a small engine. Does everyone have common sense? Maybe....do they all use it? NO. Turbine conversions are not just a simple matter of making a few minor modifications or just sticking a piece of rolled up stainless steel and a bigger fuel tank into a model. That is the message that Larry seems to be trying to portray here.
The guy that posted this question asked how much. Instead of all the manufacturers jumping up and saying my kit with this motor is the perfect combination why not answer the guys question?
