a jet really doesnt make sense on a kart, there's absolutely no response. now the turbine, well you can imagine that flew but it was just too much power and came on too quick, the thing would never make it around the first bend and it looked down right dangerous. that being said, turbine engines themselves are awesome and im thinking about maybe getting trained and becoming a helicopter mechanic (i finish my VCE [victorian certificate of education] in roughly 7 weeks time). i wonder, does the army outsource any vehicle maintanence staff or are they all military personnel? or do they send their choppers to an outside org. for service and repairs?
