Those are inducted fan engines right?
I never got into it because the ramp up time was too high. You have to start learning how to RC a little prop, then slowly graduate to the more complex inducted fan system.

Andy, I believe you are referring to ducted fans. Those are usually powered by a nitro burning engine. Scale turbines have become pretty popular recently. This SR-71 is powered by turbines.
