It's called a JET PAC 100. I do NOT have any info on it.
Someone here told me that it has to do with injecting more air into the system.
I have researched but cannot locate any info.

Re: O/B Engine Stand

Those are very nice plans. I built one similar.

The only thing I changed was that I made it much taller and wider. Taller, only because I am tall and don't like stooping over. Wider, because I have two engines on it. Personal choice.

Did you get a little round-headed kid to help with the fasteners? Seemed like an important contribution to building the original.

That stand looked a little over-engineered to me, but I'm sure it's better to have it much too strong rather than almost strong enough...:cool:
