    Those engines are pretty cheap I think because it's just a rotating compressor and a sparkplug in a tube. The materials are pretty fancy but jet engines are, in principle, simple as ****.

    I have spark plugs and access to gun powder... I'm sure I can find some metal for the wings somewhere on campus.....

    but from the site it does suggest the engines are from some model toy company vs the carbon fibre wings are from a specialist... Even being able to glide on little fold up wings would be pretty nifty. Dispite how it looks in the video they can't really climb properly with that setup so the site suggests, just slightly...neeeed more power. So don't make one of them ed, how about a better one?

    Methinks a few servos for the elevation adjustment, homemade jet engines from beer cans (titanium beer cans) and stuff, and I may have a gattling gun lying round the shed somewhere. I'll make a few and we can go invade somewhere. like the house of the ****er that gave me this damn cold.
