Default Yet another reason why idiots should not own turbines!

Haven't seen this video posted yet, homemade turbine, not strapped down well, you do the math.

And yes, I did consider the potential bad publicity before posting this, but it's not in an airplane, it's not a commercially purchased engine, this is something that any redneck moron could be doing in their garage, AMA nor the FAA can't stop stupid....

I like to think that the RC variety of turbine owners would use more smarts than this!!!

I'd love to find that youtube clip of the guy test running his turbine in his workshop, running it "rich" as its new
Flames and fuel everywhere, air start.

Found it, enjoy

Mentos and Diet Coke would be more entertaining - sticky, but safer.

Hmmm, no. Admittedly, I've done some dumb stuff in the 15 years I've been flying RC, and learnt from it...but that really is a whole new level of stupidness. Seriously hope nobody got hurt.
