Hello from Fort Wayne, IN

[jamestat2]

Hello to all! Man there are some awesome people here! I've been reading articles from these forums for some time now and finally decided to sign up!

I am currently in several builds. I have started a Edwards Radial 5 and an engine that is loosely based on the Henry Ford Kitchen Sink Engine.

Recently some friends and I went to the Detroit Makers Fair and displayed our home built jet engines converted from caterpillar diesel turbochargers and a pulse jet we built from scratch. We do shows around our area when asked and Randal and I are avid RC Airplane guys.

I hope to gain lots of knowledge from you fellas as well as share some of my own here!

Thanks!

Thanks AussieJimG.

Hey Steve are you the one with the model V8 engines in the picture? I saw those and they are really cool! Yeah those jet engines are loud! We are developing an afterburner system for the big one now. Hope to have it working by the Fort Wayne Regional Makers Fair.

Yep that's me. Had a great time until 6:15 when the sky opened up and flooded the place. I left out about 3 oclock sunday because it was not looking good and I got rained on all the way home.
