Thats cheap innit?

[Booster]

So far !
i sent him a message asking for some particulars about the engine,can't see a gearbox,wondering if its thrust or front mount gearbox? looks small, maybe 100-150hp, could be a good bike size if its complete enough.
i'll let you know his reply

cant go wrong for the money either way
no reserve!

eeee wicked

Decided to look a bit more as its an unusual design.
the turbine supplys air that feeds out thru the hollow rotor blades , making them spin, no torque reaction and no tail rotor needed...Quite unique..
