Did you know you can buy true turbo jets for model aircraft? They cost
about $3000 and give about 20 lb thrust, They are around 4" in diameter.

I was out for a bike ride and passed by a model radio controlled
airport. A guy was taxiing out and I was thiking, "Oh that is
a ducted fan (or whatever the heck they call it)." I then said to
a guy, "Man that sounds like a turbine." He told me it was.
I went home looked it up online. This is what I came up with.

This guy had an F-14 and some other fighter plane. They had
operable brakes too. Cool but at that price, I could have
paid for my PPL and my IA too....well almost.
