I have seen several attempts to build a gas turbine on sites such as YouTube. Fun if you are messing about while bored, but if you want to create a more serious engine then GET THIS BOOK! its well written and you can see why the various components are laid out the way they are. I used to own a Wren MW54 Heli engine, it was supplied as a kit. I true work of art. I do intend to build my own engine though. Its easily done once you acquire the basic tools and some way of machining and spot welding. Kamps goes into the crucial points about balancing the turbine rotor etc. Dont ignore the safety aspects...turbines such as these can be lethal...but safe if you follow the guidelines as set out in this very well written book.

A must have for anyone who owns a model/RC Turbine Engine. I own a Wren 70 - this book is marvelous at explaining this little marvel turbojet engine.

Model Jet Engines
30 Oct 2011
I have been flying radio controled airplanes on and off since I was 20 years old and I am now 71. A friend asked me if I would like to go to Winimac, Indiana and watch them fly real jet model airplanes and I said yes, needless to say I was amazed at the speed they flew. Those planes really peaked my interest and when I got home I looked at Amazon.com for a book on turbo jets and found this one then purchased it. I am a retired tool and die maker and auther of engine articals and two books now out of print. I believe this book has enough information in it so that I could build one of these engines.
Two comments to any person who would try to build one of these engines: First when prehardened steel is machined never us oil, only use water and slow speed, and second when machining aluminum use water and some dish soap.
