i would rather spend 200k u.s on something that will take me for more that 10 minutes with a heater and i wont have to wear a helmet, also what would happen if you ran out of fuel at full altitude? stupid americans, the only thing they did right were the ford motors, they even ****ed those up nearly.

It's a great clip (if you ever find it) and probably the closest to flying we'll get. That is a toy on my "must have list".

A guy in Perth can make the jets for around 9k I think. I have been looking for cheaper ones for my RC Helicopter. 8 engines, is 72k and a length of pipe, couple of electronics. You could save yourself a 100k

Does he actually fly it, or does he want 100k to hang off a rope ?
