Which 8-12lb thrust pulsejet should I build for RC-flight?

Post by torpis » Tue Jun 09, 2009 9:12 am

I wanted to test a pulsejet for my RC planes. As Bruces PJ8C seem impossible to get hold of I thought that building my own is the second best option.

Which pulsejet is the best to choose? I want it it be pretty light and provide 8-12lb of thrust(up to 20lb would actually be good too for powering a kangaroo style RC-plane). Thinking a 3-3.5" engine would do it :) Please advice and link me to plans if availabe :)

thanks!

I believe that the "Steel Floats On AIr" from Cyclodyne does the job. Just build a larger version.

No it won't... and it's not just to scale it up...
