Looks like a few customer service problems here and there but good prices. You pay your nickel and take your chances.
"I think that's like saying "I'm never going to drink again!" when you wake up with a hangover. I get pissed off every time I order from HK, but I keep going back for more. I'll continue this cycle until someone else can compete with HK prices."

I haven't had any issues with HK. The shipping is slow... but that isn't a big deal for me, if the items are in good condition when they arrive. They have evolved over the years! You just can't beat their prices. When building a plane or multicopter with local parts it would cost me about 3x more than with parts form HK.

Can sb recommend me air-frame for that pulsejet form HK... ? I'd like to build pulsejet powred rc plane.

Yes the "Dynajet" price is very good. In the video it almost looks a little smaller than the dimensions listed or rather a near clone of the Dynajet. But it's probably just the camera perspective or me. And the ignitor looks good too, I think it said it ran on almost 12 volts. I would like to see the spark it makes. It's about time someone started making something less costly than what they charged for a new Dynajet. I like my Bailey Jet because it was only $200.00 but the craftsmanship is outstanding, not a mar or irregularity to be found. I had to wait a few months for mine. Earl Bailey kind of took his time, I think he had some problems with his equipment.
The Zanin jets are very nice but exceedingly expensive. And the larger pulsejets made overseas that go on the delta wings are special too. But I've always thought a Dynajet sized engine could be made for much less if you had the machinery and cheap labor. I look at all the thin-walled stainless steel water bottles and thermos bottles made in China - nice welded stainless steel seams invisible from the outside. They should start making water bottles that can be transitioned or repurposed for pulsejets, the way Heineken made green square beer bottles that could be used to build houses. ha
