Airesearch gtp70-15 should I buy it

[barnyard]

There is someone selling a GTP70-15 near me, asking 400$, though I could get it for less. I’ve already built a modest turbo based engine and this looks like a great opertunity to get into something professional. I haven’t thought to far into applications, maybe small buggy, but I’d start with it as a test bed.

My concerns, how much more equipment would I need to get this running? It appears to have the starter/generator, and I think lube and fuel systems intact. I have no experience with actual turbine engines, so this seems like a cheap way to get started. I’m not interested in spending thousands on getting this running, I’d much rather make or modify control systems to make it work. Thoughts?

For that price its worth buying even if you never got it running :-)

John's correct, I'd snatch that up.

I've only found 1 turbine, a JFS-100 converted to thrust, but missing parts for 2,500.00 US dollars
