Default RE: jet pack project

How the heck is he supposed to be able to start 8 Olympii reliably? As Eddie can tell you from the DC-10 experience, there was no way to hear propane light-off on the second Peggy. He had to look at temp on the EDT to know it was lit. Now you could do that seven times on this turd, but that's gonna be a MAJOR pain and a time consuming process. But I asked the dude this on eBay. He said this was only a pre-production prototype and the real McCoy would have "electric start" (I assume he meant full auto-start). I still say that there is no way that will work cause a large percentage of the time you are gonna get at least one failed start out of eight. Sure, it won't happen all of the time, but it will happen enough of the time to make this impractical. But that too is OK, cause it would no doubt save this fool's life!! []
