Default Anyone tried stuffing a Jett 90 into a Patriot?

Have you seen Bob Holme's Patriot on the Jett "Hall of Fame?" With a Jett 90 turning a cut-down 11 X 12 at 16,000 rpm he claims 190 mph on radar (out of a dive, no doubt, but that's OK for me)

I tried getting a hold of him with no success. I was curious what mods or re-balancing might be necessary for that engine.

I thought it would be great fun to have an airplane as fast as a Whiplash or Diamond Dust but with the luxury of an actual set of real life landing gear!

Anyone given this a try?
