Yes that,s the type. I had one but never got the tool to pierce the co2 capsule so It just sat until it disappeared.

I went to the Dr yesterday did some X-rays the bone growth looks like a tack weld. He told me I can put up to 30# weight on my foot. So I put my foot on a scale to get an idea how much 30# feels like, not much.
Those little Jet -X were not cars. In the old Buck Rogers movies you can clearly see the rocket ship traveling on a wire. That is where we got the idea. These things were just crazy things with V-8 engines with flames and blood shot eyes. They would not necessarily have wheels. I though there might be some small chance some of us boys could be here.

The jetex were for airplanes but I did let just a engine loose in the stairwell at school and it went crazy wild hissing up the walls and all over the place, when it stopped I picked it up, .....That's righ!... it didn't take long for me to let it go but my hand was cooked instantly never did put that thing in a plane. it was too high tech at the time.

Ouch!!!! I think those things glow red hot when the fire is in side.

yea man! Hot is a understatement. I let it loose many more times but waited for it to cool which didn't take very long.

I have only seen that tool a few times, Since First seeing a nieghbor run his car, could you take a picture of it and post it here? I'd like to see if my memory of it is correct.
I wonder if the co2 capsules are still available??

As FIO said, they are available in bar supplies stores. I have a wine bottle de-corker that uses them.

Hey that's what I remember, and on second thought the capsules are used on the small compressed air powered motors. Seltzer Bottle, wine bottle decorker? hmmmmm sounds like fun! my memory tells me I saw some in a liquor store.

I see I wasn't the only one looking for a jet gun. I do remember someone showing how to pierce the capsule without the gun but cannot remember the technique. I guess one could make one useing tubing and a good spring.

Has anyone ever completed and flown one of these? the prettiest one I've seen was built by a guy in the philippines on clark A. Base. It was a berkrely kit. I have a mind to assemble a turbine version. Or the cutlass, I prefer the earlly version, the lines seem much cleaner to me. I have a kit of the later version but the canopy bulges all over the place.
What do you guys think ....I want some opinions. on these two birds only please. these drawings are not what I wanted to show but the one I like is the -1 f7u.

I looked up co2 cars on the net! I can tell you they are alive and doing well. the capsules sell for 0.60 cents and the race tracks are run by clubs.
check "m" out they are now high tech.
