Hello all!

[rocketjoey]

Just wanted to introduce myself properly, glad to have found a forum built for people with my same interests! Just a little about myself, I been flying RC aircraft and rockets for about 17 years now and do a lot of my own design and development. Pulse jets have always been interesting to me, my dad has two and I was fascinated from the instant I heard one bust off. As a fabricator/machinist its always been one of those back burner (no pun intended) projects I dwell on. Just ordered a set of plans for a 20lb thrust valved pulse jet motor, and will be designing an air frame for it. I am a bit of a speed fiend as well so I look forward to a fun project. I also look forward to designing and building my own motors after this one, my engineering mind just can't help but run on about what I can do to make something more efficient, faster, lighter, stronger ( you get the idea) and these seem to be a great platform for design. Anyway, look forward to sharing with all of you, thanks!

Welcome! Where are you located and can you add that to your profile?
Happy pulsejetting!

Thanks for the welcome, I'm located in Louisiana (USA), got that added in the profile. Anybody near the area?

Hi Joey, welcome to the forum!

I assume you got the pulsejet plans off eBay. A seller in TN has been offering plans for a 20 lb "Thurst" Pulse Jet for some time now. (The Thurst typo cracks me up). Anyway, maybe you could fill us in on what you received, and how the plans look. Kind of a mini review. Keep us updated on your progress...
