They're prices have really come down, when I first found those engines, price's started at $3,995(USD) - now price's start in the low $2,000(USD) range.
Check out You-Tube, gas turbine powered aircraft are very in Europe, there's plenty of vids from your fellow lads in the UK.
Me mum & pop both served in the US Army Air Corps during WW-2 & I served in the USAF during Viet Nam. I've loved aircraft since I was a we lad, I've flown in many different types including old biplanes. My dad flew these so needless to say, it's my all time favorite... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KmKdA6L_MWk
Sorry, I realize this is a boat forum, but I couldn't help myself, just had to share those with you. Hopefully they'll provide you food for thought, enjoy
MHZ makes a few of them and also drives. Will run you like 400 euro to get a hull and appropriate jet system. I think its not a bad deal actually considering how much we spend on props, flex, struts, collets, motor mounts, etc.
