Reminds me something that happened with a friend of mine. in 1998 he bought a Kangaroo with a brand new ram 1000 that insisted to work like a flamethrower.... To make the story short the ram didnīt worked , and he wanted to test the plane anyway, so he attached a 120 glow engine, with pusher prop, a perry pump, etc.. it quite flew for a while, until he read somewhere that the best turbine available at the time was the AMT olympus. Bought one, and the Roo flew for a while with it. Landings were interesting as at that time Roos didnīt have speed brake.

Cant imagine this kind of technological abuse this days, nor any plane that could endure that but the Roo...LOL
