Curtis' Dyna-Jets

[dynajetjerry]

Hi, Guys,
I recently heard some bad news about the Dyna-Jet but haven't had it confirmed, as yet. It seems Curtis Dyna-Fog, Ltd. has stopped all production and correspondence concerning the D-J. It represented such a miniscule income for the company that they decided to abandon it.
I don't know if they are open to selling off the tooling for the D-J but it might be a worthy investment for interested pj enthusiasts. I don't have sufficient money or facilities for such a venture but will offer such help as I might have, to anyone who investigates.

Here's their web page still up. I guess a phone call would confirm the demise or not.

Hi, Gang,
I just talked to Webster Peterson at Curtis Dyna-Fog, Ltd. and he told me they have stopped all efforts concerning the Dyna-Jet. They still have a few D-J parts for sale but when they are gone, there will be no more, ever. Their fear seems to be one of liabilities concerning the engine's hazards (mostly imaginary, I believe.)
I may have a chance, later, of asking Dennis Roudebush @ CDF if there is a possibility of their selling off their D-J tooling. Webster is quite sure they will not. Sad.

I guess one could write a book about all the things that are falling by the wayside today for being deemed too dangerous.
