These pages chronicle the construction of a home-built turboshaft engine. The GR-5 is an experimental gas turbine engine that I have built so I can learn firsthand about gas turbine engines. I am posting this information for other enthusiasts to possibly benefit from. If you have any questions or comments about this project feel free to contact me.

Thanks, Don Giandomenico
