Episode 2 of a video which focuses on homebuilt and garage gas turbine / jet engines.

Karls Rolls Royce Derwent is now mounted to a truck, a custom built starting panel now makes the engine easy to manage, again we see how impressive the Derwent is at idle and then full power.

We then move onto one of todays younger jet builders, built from infomation gathered on the internet, this engine displays all the hallmarks of good backyard jet design.

A invitation is detailed at the end of the video for people interested in being part of episode 3, a sort of twisted competition for those who like a little jet in their life.
