Default RE: has anyone built a thrust reverser yet ?

Thrust reversers are somewhat discouraged by the AMA. Here's a quote from the AMA turbine safety regs:

Other special controls such as water injection, thrust reversers, variable nozzles, etc. are acceptable only if engine manufacturer provided and supported by development testing and user training.

They're not forbidden, just not quite approved, either.
