Turbine RC helicopters are big & heavy! The power to weight ratio's are not nearly as good as they are with electric power or nitro power. In other words, they don't perform high energy, hard core 3D type flying. If that is what you are after, don't even consider a turbine RC helicopter.
Most people who get into turbine powered RC helicopters do so because of their fascination with turbine engines and full size helicopters - it's that simple. Flying and maintaining a turbine powered RC helicopter is for me an immensely rewarding experience that I just don't get with my other birds.
Prices can get up there ($6,000 – $10,000 for helicopter and engine); but considering some large, high end electric helicopters are getting close to the bottom end of that range as well (Velos 880 for example), prices are not atmospheric.
