Mt m8's Dad actually designed one of the 1st model ac turbine angines with his brother (was called the Thorjet)....He reckons they're SOOO difficult to fly because u need to concentrate So hard otherwise they're out of site & gone. every time I went round his house his Dad was in his shed (carpeted and fitted out with kitchen units, benches, etc) no matter what time of night he was always in there........He even used to build prototypes in balsa wood form plans of the planes ..thne he'd take em to someone to make moulds of the plane so he could sell the body kits....
The only thing he REALLLY regrets is that he didnt patent his design & a company in the USA copied it & went on to make an absolute fortune!!
crazy planes tho
