Default A really cool jet!

Now here's something ya don't see very often. I was at the local field yesterday and a see this thing sitting in the distance. I figure oh, just another nice helicopter...............WRONG! I hear turbine spool up and blades start turning. Then thing lifts off, gear goes up and it goes ballistic!!!!!! Huh? Just when I thought I had seen it all...............this guy starts doing touch and goes down the runway at like 30mph!!! I'm a big jet guy but I have to admit this thing gets the hat tip for a cool jet.............84 inches long and 30lbs. And it flies like 14 minutes on 2 liters of Jet A.

The JetCat mechanics are about $4300. Then I would add at least $2000 to complete the mechanics, add the fuse, and add the radio/gyro, etc. My guess is that's at least a $7000 machine - not including labor, probably more.
