very noisy,


What does it sound like? I've never heard one. Worse than a DG 400?
Worse than a small/big/huge dirt bike?

I believe that model size turbines are quieter than the equivalent
glow-motor driven ducted fans. I've heard their sound described as
being similar to first generation full size jet engines.
