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.

COOL
 

That is awsome, but hope it was not an AMA field???

Yup new that beauty has the new jetcat turbine heli mechanics with a graupner fuse built specially for those mechanics...
It was the first commercially avaliable turbine helicopter, now also believe VARIO make one. oh how i wish I could afford one :)

A really cool jet!
 

What would one of these units cost?

A really cool jet!
 

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.

Amazing I knew it would be expensive. But wow.
