Project: A real jet-powered RC plane for under $200

What? An RC plane powered by a real fuel-burning jet engine for under $200? Can it be done? Stay tuned and find out over the next week or so as the build continues!

XUAV mini-talon meets HobbyKing pulsejet.

YES I am in favour of this project!! Been waiting for you to come back with your pulsejet skills for ages! I know sod all about them really and would like nothing more than to learn from your experience. Keep up the good work my friend, you are such a valuable asset to the hobby.

Thanks for the update, Bruce! I'm looking forward to seeing this one in the air. Cheers -

[TealcJack]

Bruce, glad to see you are working on another pulse jet model. Your previous models with pulse jets is what brought me to your channel. I will admit that I have not tuned in as much with all the mini race quads. I am a plane and heli guy and would much rather watch your adventures with those. I will be tuning in for this one.

Ive had a hk pulsejet sitting in my shed waiting for me to do something with it. You might just inspire me! 😊

Very good Bruce, this will be a very loud pocket rocket and will draw a lot of attention. I can't wait to see your maiden.

[DutchRC]

Great! Glad to see an update on this project :) Good luck on the build!
Hmm the HK FPV wing really has a completely different design I think (more sweep & quite a small tip-chord)

[SkyFlyingShaun]

Looking forward to seeing this go. Fun stuff!

[leighfpvk]

Awww hell Bruce, i hope you have more than 2 cameras rolling for the maiden!

[transgenerations]

And I thought Matthew was bat chit crazy....? You go Bruce!

[jolovid]

Is the "Missile Man" making a comeback? Perhaps insert a Samsung Note7 as ballast.

[ElectraFlarefire]

Plane that flies well and does the job is great..
Fireball crashing from the sky is /nearly/ as good so long as you get it on video!
Either way it'll be fun.

[jogvan]

OMG this is what i have been waiting for! Im so excited!

[didactylosdiddy]

"and maybe even set stuff on I look forward too the first flight with some interest :)

[richglaser]

I think we're going to have a bonfire lmao. It will be a very interesting video series. Good luck.

[johome]

pulse jet and foam...please have extra cameramen filming so get gr8 footage of the supersonic fireball...please !!!! lol

[markvandesande]

Remember pulse jet superman. This will be awesome to coin an American fraise. 😃

[Spoif]

Bolting a pulse-jet to a plane is hardly something anyone should do. These aircraft are exceptionally quick and beyond even a reasonably skilled RC pilot.

[zeemanjr]

hey Bruce,
You should call this "the poor man's jet build"

[ShawnTheSilentLurkerKerr]

Could try wrapping the jet with exhaust wrap.
