Yeah, he is a local to me. I had read something about his runs out at MIR a few months ago.
small jet engines are manufactured for RC Aircraft too. Great example of an RC jet: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.mcgirt.net/RC/VIDEOS/Giant_B52/">http://www.mcgirt.net/RC/VIDEOS/Giant_B52/</a><!-- m -->

You can build a small jet engine for less than 50$ if you know what you're doing...most expensive thing will be buying a propane tank to run it
