Title: 0.52 size Pulse Jet Engine from Hobby King Post by: ujjwaana on October 25, 2013, 04:43:08 PM Should not be a news for many anymore, but after failing to develop a cheap Turbine Jet Engine, HK has come up with an offering of a Chinese factory build Pulse Jet Engine for Just $95 + Shipping. :salute: :salute:
It is yet to be seen how good it fares, but a a real Pulse Jet engine with complete Ignition systme for $99 is a good to have item. (:|~ (:|~ Waiting for my Credit Card Cycle to get over. http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__34247__Hobbyking_Pulse_Jet_Gasoline_Engine_34_Red_Head_34_with_Ignition_System.html Title: Re: 0.52 size Pulse Jet Engine from Hobby King Post by: nchandra on October 25, 2013, 04:58:56 PM hobbyking says

Title: Re: 0.52 size Pulse Jet Engine from Hobby King Post by: ujjwaana on October 26, 2013, 04:35:07 PM It went for me till Checkout page where you select between Credit Card and Paypal etc:
"ChinaPost Air Parcel No Lipo $34.41 " Bloody expensive shipping. I guess shipping from US is cheaper than unreliable, careless HK/Singa/China post ...

Title: Re: 0.52 size Pulse Jet Engine from Hobby King Post by: BSLPEI on August 16, 2014, 01:55:00 PM Dear Sundaram,
is this jet engine working well, did you try and run? and how many days it took to reach you from hobbyking? Regards. Bhavesh Lakhani. Nasik Title: Re: 0.52 size Pulse Jet Engine from Hobby King Post by: K K Iyer on August 16, 2014, 04:23:12 PM Sundaram sir,
Observations and test run video eagerly awaited. Looks like a straight Dynajet copy, no? Regards. Title: Re: 0.52 size Pulse Jet Engine from Hobby King Post by: sundaram on August 16, 2014, 05:44:58 PM I received it in about three weeks. I am yet to test run it. Though the long list of wanted for this like air pump, gas fuel tank all are assembled and ready, I am yet to start the test run, may be more so for the fear of roucous it's going to make.
Iyer sir defenitely will be posting the progress video and pictures. It's a dynajet copy surely. Title: Re: 0.52 size Pulse Jet Engine from Hobby King Post by: K K Iyer on August 16, 2014, 07:43:20 PM @ujjwaana sir,
From where did you get the 0.52 tag? Output specified by HK is less than that of the original 1957 Dynajet! Title: Re: 0.52 size Pulse Jet Engine from Hobby King Post by: K K Iyer on August 16, 2014, 07:54:06 PM @sundaram sir,
Were you not trying to build one? Or was that a turbine? After RC Aunt (and daughter) opened all the cartons and arranged the books/mags in shelves, easily found the 1971 first qtr issue of Indian Modeller with someone familiar (haha) on the cover page, as well as Model Aero Engine Encyclopedia of 1958. Chapter 26 in it is 'Making a pulse jet'. Doesn't even need an ignitor circuit to start - only a flame thrower! @ujjwaana sir Promise not to hijack your thread any further. Title: Re: Post by: sundaram on August 16, 2014, 08:36:09 PM Iyer sir, The turbine project is on a major holdup for want of time and inconel sheets. Will surely do it eventually. In the mean time asked some one to get me a kingtech. May be that one will be with me sooner. :)
Title: Re: 0.52 size Pulse Jet Engine from Hobby King Post by: K K Iyer on August 16, 2014, 11:46:10 PM Sir,
What is the all up landed cost please? Title: Re: Post by: sundaram on August 17, 2014, 09:17:28 AM Once It clears custom. Will come to know sir
