Yes.All the parts are from Bruce Tharpe in the states.It makes a simple way to run Dyna type Pulse Jets for RC use.Speed I expect around 170kph .He used 80% Methanol & 20% Nitro & says it starts easy.Cheers Chris

Latex pressure bladder + Cline regulator = consistent suction draw system with outlet "right there".

No such link - you can write to Tharpe for details on their system, I don't know what tubing they used. PM sent. In any case, use thin wall latex tubing and fittings, and experiment. The regulator takes care of matters at the engine end.

I don't usually look at avatars that closely, but just noticed - are you Canadian?

After adding wire skids to INFERNO it would not take off evan with the 18kg tugg bangie .I had no dihedral set as I thought the bungie would lift the nose up but the wire skids being so far back on the plane stopped that happening.I had to add a wire support at the front to hold it at 5 deg angle just for take off.It adds wait to the front on take off but with full up elivator it should work fine.The 5 deg angle is a guess for best angle & it all has to be proved now.The Maxx Pro ESC is no good for INFERNO & Hubert has a custom one to fix this.My DX7 goes a bit nutty with the Buzz Box on start up but its only the Servos that rattle a bit from it.Perhaps not good.I was told a Futaba FX30 works with no interference.
