I'd try it... pretty cool that turbines designed for model airplanes are being used for human flight.

I still say that one day trucks will no longer have wheels and hover above ground and will make driving lots more fun and help out in traffic...

That is pretty cool. The model jets that the engines are for are really amazing. There are quite a few videos of them on youtube and the are almost exact replicas inside and out. Those engines are also very expensive I would guess by the size of those that they are the biggest they make which run around $5000.
