Yeah not sure because its not on wheels (will be one of the next jobs). That and it weighs a fair bit. Lets say its a little over-engineered

I will be putting a jet nozzle on soon which should improve the thrust as well.

Then with the possibility of a afterburner for coolness

Thats just me controlling it with the valve on the bottle. It will run constant if you set it there.
I will look at putting a needle valve on it for the gas supply because the valve on the bottle is fairly hard for small adjustments.
