ok, to bring you up to date with some 'Facts'

i used to maintain microjet engeerings website for them free of charge, they paid me by letting me buy a phoenix MK4 at cost, also for sometime i sold what plans they had left for the phoenix 30.3 homebuilt engine, they got the cost of the plans back, i think i made about £150 profit.
i helped them at shows free of charge....i even had to pay my own fee to get into wings and wheels one year.

i did some filming for them and lots of photography for their website (FOC)

i filmed one of their customers twin jet powered gokart when in testing on the runway at Duxford (FOC)

i then came up with the idea of the Jackson D-stick idea for the burner tubes and let them use the idea, this resulted in a saving of 17% on fuel economy, they modifed my own MK4 and ran some tests with it......then sold it by mistake, but let me have a brand new Phoenix super panther (20lbs thrust engine) to compensate me, they continued as far as i am aware to use the jackson D-stick idea all the way up to the company (microjet engineering) going into recievership.

they eventually took back control of their own website and Paul fords wife created a new one (wasn't as good as my design IMHO)

then Phill left microjet engineering and set up on his own with his wife anna.

since then i've helped them a few times with ods and sods (like helping them offload at their new workshop) and one day when they are bigger i'd happily go work for them.


so when you said 'business partnership' you we're very wrong.

helper, free website maintainer and personal friend, but as of yet not a true business partner.

let me just ad, i helped them free of charge on so many occasions because i wanted to and enjoyed being around people that loved the smell of burnt AVTUR


i hope this gives you some facts Mr Rutter
