im going to sit down and read through the last few pages to find out whats been happening. then i can give a more in depth answer.

Jet power-------- I was hoping to go but nothing concrete was planned. and when the time came I had to go to the USA for a month at the same time regarding a large project.

Falsely winning the gtba comp ????? i just saw a quick line about that one, can you let me know what you mean by that.

Long development time----------this is not just another kj copy in a different colour can. every minute detail was calculated, drawn, built, reworked x 15. a quick answer to that one is just try it yourself. Ive been making these engines since 1983, so far built 45-50 different designs (not one of them coppied from anyone elses work), the wasp has been the most stubborn to get right.
From what i can work out, the GTBCG later the GTBA came into being because there were so many people building the fd3 and getting nowhere. all these people somehow started finding about each other and started meeting. in those days people helped each other by passing on hints and tips. Now its more fun to trash new engines and start up long forums about what crap it is and what the latest breakdown was.

I have solved all the early problems in some engines with the combustor not being to handle a slam acceleration and throwing out a flame at 70k rpm or there abouts. There still remains a bit of work to reduce the egt. for this there will be a new turbine wheel with a different blade profile. the drawings were sent to the mould makers in late Janurary this year, I am still waiting for the wax mould to be finished. I am constantly chasing them to finish the job and get some castings. All existing engines have the option of a straight refit with the new wheel. all new builds will use it but only after very extensive bench and flight testing.


I have told many people this and will let all owners know once we have them on the shelf tested and ready to go.

If people want help or money back etc. that should be between us and them, not for public consumption on here.

not answering phone, emails etc. im guilty of that one. I dont like phones, those who know me will know i can easily go a month without saying more than a couple of sentences. i dont know why but its always been a struggle.
Emails, there is a backlog to get through. As some may know, I have recently moved house and workshop, and spend a month out of the country. Me and Anna between us spent 11 hrs on the phone to BT trying to get the broadband connected, we had to wait 8 days to get a line connected.
Im working through emails as fast as i can. many of them require a 2-3 page reply not counting bespoke drawings, specific engine test results, spreadsheets.
