Ive been watching agentjayz(being a leaf he does make abhorrent comments though) and it looks like it would be a fun project, how should i go about this and what engine would be a good beginner project?

buy a junked saber and restore the GE J47
It was pretty funny how salty he got in the comments when people pointed out he was completely wrong about compression in a piston engine.
leafs are like that
even a junk sabre costs hundreds of thousands
You sound equally as pathetic as him for mentally cataloging something so meaningless for an anecdote. Retard.
dude is an elitist gay and does similar shit all the time
>mentally cataloging something
this happens to normal people effortlessly. I bet the concept of an internal monologue mystifies you as well.
I bet the concept of autonomic breathing mystifies you. Probably all the inbreeding in your family.
hi agentjayz
send these guys an email

Isn't that the guy who managed to obtain an Orenda Iroquois engine?
the leaf owns a shop, he probably was just fixing it
It's horribly expensive to overhaul one and without the parent aircraft they're useless. I quite enjoyed my career working Pratts and GE in F-16s but unless you're rich and skilled and extremely bored the money would better be used improving your shop or building one.
You could train to become a jet mech and see if that's your thing (for much less money) while not just buying something you don't know how or have the specialty tools to work on.
You can't afford the tools and equipment. Trust me.
^That and the people who can rarely bother without a business case. Some dreams really are stupid.
unlike you sad neets i have a job
First of all its not a ""jet engine"" Its a gas turbine engine. Sounds silly but most of the people you will be talking to for parts will hang up on you if you tell them you need parts for a ""Jet engine"" Probably the easiest and cheapest gas turbine engine to work on is the Allison 250 and even then you will be in over your head, Trust me.
If you **really** want to throw some money at a fancy noise maker that blows hot air and smells like kerosene then just buy a model gas turbine engine for a RC Jet for $3k and enjoy running it on a test stand.
