Yeah, them model turbine engines are.. thirsty!

Not to mention a bit of a proceedure to get the thing up and running. (most scale jets require and external fuel tank just to get started and up to their take-off run, to maximize flight times. There's a few videos of the start-up proceedure on our site..)

Typical ones will run 5 minutes on about 20 oz of kerosene..

Prop'd 2 stroke or 4 stroke no good? Can we ask why a turbine?
