The guy concerned, Chris Monkley, is a go getter with the financials to carry off his projects correctly. He demonstrated to me a gas turbine about 5" dia and about a foot long that had a fadec control unit. started absolutely reliably and delivered something like 14lbs thrust. To get them right he has GE cast the turbine rotors for him in the correct alloys as a mono crystal investment casting. He retails the unit for $aus4,400. If you want to play with small gas turbine engines I'd suggest starting with Chris's unit. It is immaculately put together. Stealth Pilot
