nice you'd think those things would run out of fuel very quickly. must've been tiring carrying the camera lol

[troyhartmancom]

@sherwinjtb You can cruise at this power setting for about 10 minutes, so you would travel maybe 5 miles. Full throttle you would only get about 4 minutes, but this would be enough to take you up a mountain a couple thousand feet. Not super practical, but damn fun.

No problem holding the camera...it's a GoPro. What was tiring was staying in the tuck position for any length of time while carrying 50 lbs. That's why I was standing upright so much toward the end. My legs were toast.

Dude, You ROCK !!!!! It seems like you have like 1 jetcat with a high trust. Try to have some body else to shoot you when you are riding. Awesome..

[troyhartmancom]

@sakadatci Jetcats are too small. You would need to stack a bunch of their P-200's on your back to make it work.

I agree...more video is needed.

[sakadatci]

So what do you have fi you dont have jetcat ?? dont tell me you are carrying a helicopter engine on your back ! =))))

[troyhartmancom]

@sakadatci Lots of different options out there these days for jet engines. I had to go with a UAV design typically used for military drones.

type in "ski crashes" in the youtube search and click the video with stars in the title to be shocked!

[troyhartmancom]

@latexink Everybody else has understood it.

[Stoory]

I doubt whether your crash helemt would help much if you lost control and hit a tree at those speeds.
