« on: January 26, 2007, 07:26:58 PM »
Looks like about as much fun as a bike.  Maybe even a little more -

That is awesome.  It is amazing that those single stage rockets can burn for 5 minutes.  He must fire them two at a time.

Who said the French were pussys, that guy has balls!

Those aren't rockets, but minature jet engines like those used on model aircraft.  Check out this link:

Yes it is.  I took the pic at the World of Wheels car show in AZ two weeks ago.  That engine produces 800 HP without NOS!  It must be a blast to drive in a straight line.

The next version will be cool. Roller blades for landing wheels with fins on to act as rudder/stabiliser (probably).

He might like to factor in three engine performance characteristics.

Cool idea, however jumping out of a perfectly good airplane to get it done makes it a no go for me.  :o

Yeah, that was very cool.  Had a serious superman look to it when he's giving the thumbs up in front of that plane.  Very, very cool.  And yes, I want one too!

That would almost make me want to get qualified in ski diving to be able to put on

Awesome!  Psycho!  I'd love to have sat in on the discussions that spawned that jet beast.  It might have gone like this:  "It'd be cool if I could  jump out of an airplane with a wing strapped to my butt.  Even cooler if the wing had 4 jet engines." ;)
