I enjoy model airplanes, but I’ve always found it curious why software companies always seem to use model airplane engines as their models for their marketing?

Maybe I’m wrong, but it seems like most RC airplanes are electric these days.

Weirdly, the engine model seems both overly complex (from a geometry perspective) and overly simplistic (not as many parts as most people work with in actual assemblies).

Do many people today even know that it’s a model airplane engine?
