"Cottage Industry" Jets
Ha I wish it's my dads Harley. I ride a 95' Kawasaki Ninja and yes it is the most expensive vehicle I own. Even more than my truck.
Your right about the air start turbines etc. Yet I hardly see any for sale. I remember one of the first turbines I saw on the net the guy was starting it with a leaf blower. lol
I just think if they got down closer to the $1000 total power system price range more people would be burning kerosine and Jet-A. Although while older air start simple type turbines may become available there are none being made new. Or at least none I know of. I mean if there was just a simple air start turbine on the market in kit form for say $400 I'd be looking at twin turbine jets right now lol. The Wren is 600 pounds for just a turbine kit.
Maybe I just need to build my own turbine, but with a lack of a machine shop thats kinda impossible. Unless I made it out of wood. Now wouldn't that be neat! lol
