HobbyKing Pulsejet review (part 1)

Here's a first-look at the HobbyKing pulsejet for RC planes, boats and cars. Some first thoughts: Bad things: - the welding is merely "satisfactory" but nothing to be proud of - only one spare reed valve is supplied and no spares are listed on the HK website - the engine tube is poorly formed and quite distorted where it joins the chamber Good things: - the ignition system looks great, almost worth the purchase price on its own - the machining of the valve-head is excellent - the accessory pack is very welcome and comprehensive - cool "WARNING" stickers! So-so: - the instructions are "adequate" but could be better The big problem right now is that there isn't a great choice of models that this engine can be used on -- however, I hope this will change.
