You want a jetpack then get of your 4r53 and build it, Centrelink aint going to provide you with one. You have all the basic parts just lying around you house get out to the shed and build one

Get and old turbo, a full LPG tank, build a controller, throttle injectors and a combustion chamber.

Stop whinging and build it. However you may want to write your will before the test flight or initial start up .


Long live the rocketeer.

another use for it

They were not meant to offend William, just the hippies and the feminists. I know William would not be either of these,

a: what would a hippie want with a mode of transport that produces more green house gasses than a v12 yet can only transport one person. (the jetpack not the landie)

b: Why would a feminist want a mode of transport that looks more phallic than a banana in your trowser pocket? Besides when they cut the bra straps the jetpack would fall off, however this might not be such a bad idea afterall.

Dobbo, Duely noted and my apology is here by forwarded. Sorry man, had a bad day and was a bit touchy. Ask my son about hippies , he turns 16 on Tuesday and hates them His answer is to use the feminist with hairy armpits to design the thing then get a hippy as the test pilot. Over and over again until they run out of hippies

I saw a short video of a parashootist (is that even a word??) who had a suit on that made him look a bit like a flying possum and had two micro turbines strapped to his legs. Most insane thing I have ever watched, he jumped out at about 5000 feet from memory and flew about 3K as well as jumping from a ballon just wild.

Aparently broke some sort of record for horizontal flight, stupid and insane but it was wild to watch

Yep - but as "parachutist"

Ah well I have never been hired for my spelling, I usually spell phonetically and hope spell check can sort it out.

It's embarassing when spell check hasn't got a clue what I tried to spell
