*** The mind boggles George as to what some people put their energies towards ! these motors were once spectacles at model displays in the early fifties,until a few exp loded and a beautiful model of a Vampire jet caught fire in front of the crowds,the outcome was that nobody would insure them,they seem to be making a bit of a comeback,I have a cutting somewhere of a B-36 bomber control line model with four pulse jets and six pusher glo motors that was flown from a baseball ground in Japan.
