Dont let a few guys who think turbines should be only in the hands of "the select" stop you.

Turbines are not any harder to run today (assuming a modern ecu and engine) than setteing up a glow or gas engine.

As far as safety goes, again, if you follow the rules set out by groups like the GTBA and your respective country's governing body for model aircraft, they arent any more dangerous (and in some cases less!) than a large engine/prop! Yes, you are carrying a bit of fuel and have the means to get it lit IF the worst case happens, but so have large gasers carrying 50 ounces of gasoline.

I for one look forward to seeeing more fellows into turbine powered aircraft, especially around my area. It would make it a lot more fun than it is allready.

As for the $800 Canadian turbines, as far as I know they were nothing but talk as of yet. I would like to see that though!
