Title: 200mph+ control line Pulse Jet action
Post by: dominicm on October 21, 2017, 04:22:00 pm

Crazy fast 200mph+ pulse jet control line action from the BMFA Power Nationals. I can't comprehend how you control the pitch on these models while they are travelling at these speeds while keeping balance. Compelling to watch !

Many Many moons ago there was a model aircraft meeting / show / whatever, in the Wembley (Old) stadium. Some very similar pulse jet models were flown as part of this meeting. One might just imagine how they sounded inside the stadium, think it was about four days before my ears stopped ringing.

Yeah, must have been horrific on the poor eardrums.   %%  Tinutus is no laughing matter. I tend to take ear defenders at least to any full size show these days.
