A go kart that really goes

That's interesting. Back in the late 80’s I met a fellow in Hesperia, CA that was an expert in those motors and was building a helicopter with pulse nets on the tips of the rotos. He had a built chopper in his garage and also some of the jets on test stands. He fired one up and it was amazingly loud. 

I thought this was the same guy but the one I met was apparently more famous but died from cancer in 1994. His family took up the business.

Here’s an article I found on the guy I met.

Thanks for that, it was an interesting read.  The thing I'm curious about is what is the mechanism that transfers the flow of fuel from the tank to a fuel line on a spinning rotor?
