Curious, what is the draw to the "Nano" turbines
I'm wondering what the draw is to the nano turbines. I really appreciate the technology of them, I think it's kind of neat, but I guess I wonder where the draw has come from over the past year. I thought the MW44's wouldn't really catch on and they did, I can kind of understand those, they're still big enough to use in the JHH kits from the past and such, but with so few airframes available for the nano engines, and the big cost, what is the draw?
I love my jets, and I love the sound and smell, but I can't understand putting a 3K + engine on a foamy, I can't understand putting it on a plane without gear. Surely people aren't literally looking at these as turbine powered park fliers, those twinjets look like they're still well over 100mph with those Kolibri engines.
I guess I kind of see it as going back to half A flying after you've flown giant scale.
Having said that, I am not bashing them, there is a place for everything, and if these engines were inexpensive I suppose I would understand more, granted, you can put an airframe together for very little more than the cost of the engine, but it just seems like a huge investment to strap to some foam.
Maybe I need to fly one to get it LOL.
Again, not bashing, just wondering, so for those of you who have them, or are planning to get one, what is the reason behind it?
