This short clip was pretty amazing. Too bad the turbine manufacturers don't make an informative DVD like this and package it with every turbine they sell. It would give you an Idea of what makes your engine do what it does. A short clip on setting fail safe, ecu operation and which way to orient fuel lines (follow the arrows) etc for those visual learners would complete the DVD. Just a stray rambling...............
I believe this is what Hobbyking are planning to do with their new turbine.

6 hours to manufacture @ $1.00 per hour (China's industrialized city average rate) brings the labor to $6.00... They already manufacture turbine components in China for the Germans. Yep, estimate a street price of less than $1500:-)
