Re: My first pulse jet!!!

Not sure about amazon slip rolls, or what they cost. I don't trust cheap shit bought across the 'net, though. I made my own rolls, from scrap, cost next to nothing. Here's an idea - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m7eNLv6BR4Y As far as thickness goes, it's easier to bend thinner material, but it wil...
