He's going to have a tough time following the boat around with that air compressor.

That thing should be code-named "Ol' smokey"

I liked him better in the first movie he did. Wasn't he the man behind the curtain in the "wizard of oz"?

Todd, I dont see those listed on your site....put me on the list please.... then maybe I can tie this guy for the Darwin Award....I think it's great idea that he did it inside the shop....keeps the neighbors from snooping......

Wow! Exciting! Makes starting my Wren soooo boring.

I guess that's because I didn't 'break in' my Wren.

The way I interpret this ad is that the compressor was all that survived! - John.

In the interest of saving this guy and his family, we should get together and send him a good SuperBee or P60 before he causes bodily harm to himself or others.

I admire his tenacity but his procedures appear to me as a bit dangerous maybe?

The exploded parts drawing on his advert was lifted from the Wren website a few years ago.

Wasn't this the same guy that said the reason for all the flame was it was rich for break in?

Break-in????? Notice the vibrations in the puddle on the table? I think the bearings are done with the break-in or should I say done broken?

Ugghhhhh....



After two or more starts like that the turbine would come out and smack him upside the head!
I can't believe it didn't melt out the back.

A great tutorial on how to sacrifice a Jet Joe. That guy is scary, to say the least.

Look At it close enough. Looks like A JJ to me. Not just in the outer case but the whole starting and running. Oh did I say running I ment flame thrower.

Same engine, I recognised it from a Dutch turbine forum...



This engine belongs to Gerald Rutten, a Dutch turbine homebuilder who got this KJ66-type body to deliver 18kg's of static thrust.
More info on his homepage: [link=http://members.tele2.nl/geraldensuzanne/turbines.htm]Gerald Rutten's hobby pagina[/link]

I seem to remember seeing that video on RCU a few weeks ago. I remember comments about him probably burning down his house.

I know nothing about rc jets, but I'm sure most of them don't burst into flames. I'm also pretty sure it's a bad idea to fire them up INDOORS.

Yeah , I'm sure the jetman uses those engines to fly the channel . He'd be a burning marshmellow in a few seconds

Break in a jet? I guess he thinks he has to heat-treat the tail pipe! This guy needs to get back on his meds!
