I don't think you can get them.
I do know there are 2 yahoo groups for these because their now collector items.
Check this link for good stories about it and pictures of Jetx models from the 40's and 50's

O'man, What memories!
I use to mount the jetex 50 under the nose of those ten cent fighter type gliders. The ones that you could slide the wing back and forth in the balsa slot. The jet force would about pull the wings off.

Oh man, me and a childhood friend used to have a blast with those things. In fact, I was just visiting him last month - hadn't seen each other in years - and we talked about playing with those Jet-X models

We never painted them.We hooked on that jet-x and let it go.
We used the cheap jetx and it dodn't get that hot.
I think we paid 50 cents for a small tin full of the pellets.
I think every kid in school had one in his pocket and 95% of them never flew a plane

You just slid the balsa wing through the slot.
