Only problem with using those motors is their very short bearing life. The subsonex while only slightly bigger uses the more durable TJ-100 turbojet.

Oh definitely, they are cheap though

A few 10’s of hours before major overhaul may be ok for a model but even for an ultralight aircraft it would get expensive very quickly. The TJ-100 used in the subsonex has a tbo of only 300 hours and that adds significantly to the hourly flying cost.

Love this thing. Someone told me the other day there's no use for those cool tiny microjets.
