These engines are nice - but a couple of weeks ago I saw a TV report about a model Boeing 747 (200 lbs, scale 1:10), and of 4 engines they tried to start, one caught fire right in front of the camera. The 747 team seemed to have expected this - a guy with a fire extinguisher was already sitting right in front of the engine. Not very convincing safety record if you ask me...  Bye Andreas
