Every control line plane I made, went up and straight down into little pieces. Only once, when I forgot to attach the elevator control horn properly did it fly, until briefly, it met the ground again. That pulse yet is really powerful! The building of all them though, brought countless hours of fun. Later, I went on to become a private pilot. And now I’m printing them.
That pulse jet, same sort of engine as in the WW2 V1. My late uncle saw quite a few in flight towards the end of the war and he always thought they sounded like a two stroke motorbike! Hand starting what we used to call model aero diesel engines by hand cranking. I've still got a scarred and deformed finger from back in 1963. Happy pre H&S days and not a mobile phone in sight.

I have one of these pulse jets .. one day. When the neighbors piss me off. I’ll run it….
Even young boys were properly dressed in those days!

Those were the days when we built our models. We didn't snap them together from the box.
