Sucker For Lighter Weight/More Power

Just bought a new Pulsejet engine minutes ago. Have a totally new design with a "paint" scheme that kinda-fits the power source.

New engine link = Hobbyking Pulse Jet Gasoline Engine "Red Head" with Ignition System

I know it looks like stamped metal, welded seams are better, but the price is right; iincludes a starting system and engine mount, plus the fact that a small RC gasoline fuel tank is all that is needed. No more heavy propane tank....

Weighs 16.226 ounces [460 gm], but puts out 3.52 lb static thrust [1.6kg] means the plane I designed for the old engine, will work great.

Hopefully will have the plane built and ready for the engine mounting within a month (already have the plane printed and cut out), 1/2 scale version built for part fit and glide tests has been test flown glider style for stablity tests.

Mike
