he he! speaking of pulse jets and the like..there was a Dutch radio controled model display team (yes i did say display team !)
who used miniture model WW2 V1 type pulse (?? not entirely sure if thats the right tech) jets for their models and they toured Europe givng displays at all the major model aircraft shows...
(UK government banned them a while ago as being too dangerous)

i saw them two or three times put on their show at Woodvale here in the UK (near Southport)...mind boggling....fast unbelievably so--in fact nigh on impossible to track them with the naked eye..(i have no idea how they flew them..must require super-human reflexes) and LOUD----ye gawds they were loud..as i say i saw them perform two or three times and i still don't know what the actual model looked like---just to damn fast to get a good look at them...but i'll never forget what they sounded like...exactly like those WW2 films showing them dropping on London...only 400 time louder in real life (and these were just scale models!!!)
