Wow! 60mm and 4kg - that looks very nice! Please put my name down for one!
We have yet to see it in action. Looks to have a larger inducer then the T25 Kolibri and a larger houseing so it should be possible. At jetpower 2011 I was told it should arrive before the flying season of 2012 and provide 3.5kg of thrust, which it did not. Either it's not prioritized or problems occurred. Looking forward to seeing it up and running.

If it happens, it would be amazing, but like you say, let's wait and see. After all, I can claim to produce a 60mm turbine which outputs 5kg of thrust... unless someone wants to actually see it ;-)

Does anyone know what would happen were you to squirt nitrous-oxide into the induction of a jet engine? Could this yield short-term gains in thrust due to the extra oxygen?
