No problem, just give us your Yahoo username and password and we can login to see the attachments

You'll have to host the file somewhere public for the rest of us to see it

That's similar to Leno's jet powered motorcycle.

Just imagine the attention you'd get cruising around...

I would love to own one. Though I would prefer a Mini chassis...

I think Leno's uses a helicopter engine with a power output shaft and puts the power through the back wheel, rather than using direct thrust.
These helicopter engines are used a lot for boats and pulling tractors.

Two years ago I could have picked up two 1350 HP turboshaft engines with 2 input transmission... Lots of hours left on engines for about $8000. It can be done but fuel and thermal management are biggest problem.
