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.

QuoteUnable to ship this parcel to your country due to size/weight.
Your order is either too large, or too heavy for shipment to your country.
:o :o :o :'( :'( :'(
i just try and it taken me to the paypal page for the payment. may be try other shipping method?
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 ...
Mine landed here safely through Registered international Post. No issues.
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.

Sundaram sir,
Observations and test run video eagerly awaited.
Looks like a straight Dynajet copy, no?
Regards.
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.
@ujjwaana sir,
From where did you get the 0.52 tag?
Output specified by HK is less than that of the original 1957 Dynajet!
@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.
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. :)
Sir,
What is the all up landed cost please?
Once It clears custom. Will come to know sir
