You probably won't be able to build one. They require specialized tools and especially metallurgy. If you want one, it's a bunch cheaper and more certain to just buy one of the right size. Cool to try, though.
Where can i go to find free info on building a jet engine for an r/c plane?
why would you want to build one when you can just buy one. Not cheap though try www.hobbypeople.net thats my favorite place to blow discretionary and not so discretionary income on my toys
Reply:I'm an RC truck/car guy so I'm no expert, but I think you have to be a licensed jet pilot before you can fly one of those. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but that is what they said on DIY channels "Radio Control Hobbies". These things fly around 200mph so if you don't know what you're doing you could very easily kill someone. The fuel is also extremely dangerous and can explode if not handled properly.
Reply:I agree. It is cheaper to buy one. But if your tight on finances, there is also available for R?C models, a ducted fan unit that works almost like a pure jet engine.
What KB2002 is talking about is a membership in the AMA (Academy of Model Aeronautics). It is a national organization and you must be a member to get a "license" to fly your model at a AMA sanctioned flying field. With the membership license comes a one million dollar liability insurance policy.
