Pulse jets WOW factor!!
For those who are interested, my article on R/C Pulsejet models appeared in the Feb 2000 issue of RCM. Lots of good info in there on the pulsejet models I've designed and flown over the past ten years. My latest, a twin Dynajet model, will be featured in the May issue of Model Airplane News in the Final Approach column.
The biggest problem with pulsejets these days is getting them! Bailey in TX used to make beautiful engines, but his tube welding machine was damaged and he hasn't gotten it going yet. America's Hobby Center advertised the Dynajet for years ($289), but not lately. Not sure if they have them anymore. The best place to find them is ebay, but the price is sometimes ridiculous.
Hey Jetset and miderror, I'd love to see the videos you've described if you can get your hands on them.
Happy to help any pulsejet enthusiasts out there!
