I was just at the International Modelers Show in Pasadena over the weekend
as an exhibitor, and there was a booth for a French made turbine jet down 
the aisle.  They had one you could actually touch and a video tape of
actual planes flying it.  Cute engine.  Somewhere around 14" to 16" long,
and maybe 8" wide?  As I remember, about $4000 would get you into one
of them, and a fellow I talked to was putting TWO into his Phantom 4.
Watching the video reminded me of watching Wings on the cable.  The jets
took a LONG time to get off the runway, but once they were in the air the
performance was awesome.  And the SOUND!!  Worth the money IMHO.
I belive they did(will do) a feature on it in RCM magazine.
