That's very impressive. Some years ago, my brother and I went to the very last Sandown Model Show. There was a man demonstrating a small jet engine it was wicked, the type they use in model planes. I said to my brother I would like one of those and build a model Bluebird and mount it in that. Sadly I don't think my modeling skills are quite that good. I don't think either that there was a model kit out on the market that you could buy to build. I am not sure that there is even one out there on the right scale to take a jet engine anyway. But yours is awesome. as you say your speed is quite acceptable. but my reason for a jet engine is I am a speed feakaholick. I have built several model boats in the past where it says the largest engine is 7.5cc and straight away I stick in a 10cc, sad but that's me. my brother has said you can't do that but up to now I have never come unstuck and always got away with it and had great fun and performance from them. But I have blown the bottom out of an engine by adding the Nitro in the fuel up to 60% very costly on a ยฃ90 engine never went that far again. As I say I am a speed freak. No more IC engines left now as I have sold them all of and going brushless now. They have turned out to be faster than IC. But I only went down that way as there is nowhere left near me where you can run IC. I loved the thrill of when the engine got up to speed and came on pipe. I am a speed freak. So brushless here I come. ๐คฃ๐

Well done.
Have long toyed with making that model but have never plucked up courage. After seeing your success am feeling revigorated. Might be dropping you a message shortly so can pick your brain. Rowen ▲

Nice work! Certainly looks the part at speed. Clever idea to make the canopy out of mesh to get the airflow. ๐

Awesome - brilliant piece of work that from afar could be the real thing. Just need to scale down the surroundings and nobody would know!
