Gas Turbine Engines for Model Aircraft Paperback – January 1, 1994

Really I don't think a couple paragraphs could do it justice folks. Simply put, you won't find a better resource for designing and fabricating micro turbo-jet engines. Weather your a weekend warrior just getting the itch for something fast and dangerous, or a veteran mechanical engineer looking to prove a point, this book is full of the engineering principals, design drawings, equations, calculations, and practical advice you need to accidentally catch your house on fire.So break out the lathe and update your homeowner's policy and prepare yourself for an epic adventure with this amazing guide!

The book is very informative, and gives you step-by-step instructions to manufacture your own jet engine. The design is a bit outdated, and other materials on Amazon can help you create a more modern, better performing engine.The fact remains that this is a very good book to have on the shelf of anyone who may want to build their own jet engine at home, at least once.

I bought this because I am very interested in making an R/C turbine. I intended this for general reading, not as a how-to manual. I don't intend to try and manufacture a turbine disk using the methods in this book, as they are for sale commercially. I can see that a machinist with a mill and lathe could perform the operations in this book. I appreciate that Hr. Schreckling included notes on the manufacturing methods he used, and it helps me understand the time involved. Just as an aside, this is translated from German, and the translator seems to have done a very good job.

I read this book several years ago when I was a student. Full of in-depth information, easy readible and interesting. I will put it fo my historical archive.

Excellent Product

It is a must read for any serious r/c jet pilot.It is totally worth it !!! And it takes you from the bare basics to the level you need to be a proficient pilot...

I'm making a jet engine and all information is important.I like it and I' ll talk about it to all the persns I know interested on this tecnologie

This is a very in-depth book. Kurt Schreckling knows what he is talking about and it's an easy read.

I was very pleased with this book and I would recommend anybody who wishes to learn the basics of model jet engine operation and building to buy this as a great reference. The seller was also very helpful and delivery was very speedy. Thank you

Brilliant book, very useful for the basics of my foundrywork casting components to build micro turbine engines for my radio control jets, an insightful book at a reasonable price!!!Very prompt and reliable service!!

This book is perfect if you want to build a good turbine engine for an RC model or just to have it in a test rig.

My husband says this is a useful book
