That’s actually a pretty cool concept, but if it was considered too dangerous back then... It’s probably pretty dangerous, haha!

back in 1979, I bought one off of a ad in the bargain post. it was made by the Chance mfg co. in wichita, ks It used model airplane fuel. I never got good with it, but i took it out to ford glass plant. one of my coworkers could really make it hop! It would jump up about 2 1/2' -3'. I dont remember what i did with it.
