RE: Turbine Truck!!!
i would guess the turbine had enough power, since even the smallest of turbines is used in like 15lb airplanes. Its not practical, but someones gonna do it.

RE: Turbine Truck!!!
The price on that is £1,445.96
Past that, I don't know anything else. I got about halfway through a turbine I was going to put on a plane, and then I found out the AMA rules boil down to "Don't even think about it", so it sits on the shelf. I may finish it later, I just got discouraged.
