A sight and sound sensory overload on a flight just over nine seconds:thumbsup:

Is that a pulse jet i hear?

Very nice video

Steven

Yup, there's no mistaking that sound, it's a pulsejet. I love it!

Thanks John.

Notice the remarkable athletic performance required of the pilot. I suspect The owners, tuners and builders of the models usually fight over the few capable pilots.

Also note there is no delay after start for the launch. You have only seconds to get moving before chamber meltdown.

There is only one sound better than a pulse jet up to speed and that is a twin pulse jet up to speed:

That was cool !!!

I bet the maiden on a plane like that is scarey as hell because once it takes off thats it...you are flying with no way of stopping.


Seeya, Tim

I can't believe that 'total lunatic' had a pulse jet on a control line!!!! :eek:
What a buzz.

I've had this thing for 40 years, no more like 50. Completly useless except for what you saw. 9 seconds of terror with all the noise of the deamons in hell let loose.
Haven't run it in those 50 years too.
Flying it on a Control line is about the only way to do it. As and RC or free flight it would be in the next state in 9 seconds. It's best to have a field with a post in the center to keep you there. Those fools standing just outside the circle have a death wish.
