Cg is a bit too far forward. That gives the climbing diving behavior

I burned a LOT of Jetex prllets when I was a kid. A Jetex 50 was $1.90. Just loads of fun and educational as you had to work out CG, bslance under thrust, etc. Out library had two books with dozens of models for the various sized Jetex engines. The '50s were good.

I had a couple of Jetex motors in the early 70s, no matter how I tried I never actually got one to fire up, as soon as the lit fuse wire entered the motor it would always go out, still, loved building the planes.

Had a jetex 50 in the old days and put it in a Keilcraft Cub. It flew beautifully, had many a happy hour flying that plane, however money was short in those childhood days and had to save up for those jetex pellets. Precious memories.

Awesome and obviously not RC. Looks like so much fun. My wife’s uncle built and flew his own. Was in Xian, China and a guy was flying a large jet that looked like a Mig or one of the new Chinese interceptors. This was on a Main Street. I thought I would love one but wasn’t sure how I would fit the box into my suitcase👍🤣

What fun. We have what are called bottle rockets we let off during our Diwali festival celebration. It is a cylindrical capsule with the solid combustion fuel inside. This is that on a long stick. Stick is put in a bottle to keep rocket vertical. Light the wick and it fires the rocket. This Ithink can be inserted in a metal holder under the jet. Must try.

Hi John, I remember making the F-104 to pretty much scale proportions for a profile. It was really fun and totally unpredictable which is what I was after. It all looks quite mad and really it is...but then again that's the Vulture squadron for you!!! Andy.

Hi John, More Vulture squadron japes. The orange X-1 was launched by the guy that designed the kit - Richard Crossley. Other prime pilots include; John Digby, Chris Richards, Dr Roger Simmonds and...me. Cheers, Andy.

Hi John, I'm the pratt in the blue shirt. Yes, It all looks like a free for all with no safety net. Looks can be deceiving, It's a small aerodrome and we're all insured, no one is sleeping and we all know what to expect. In twenty years we haven't had so much as a wasp sting and even at 100 degrees F never had a grass fire. Looks fun doesn't it... we're the vulture squadron... All the best. Andy.

Bit late to the party, but these are a mixture of Rapier and Jetex engines. Rapiers were single use, Jetex and Jet-X motors were reusable, both used a solid fuel mixture based on Guanadine Nitrate. Getting hard to find now, I'm a toy dealer in the UK and have a reasonable selection of Jetex and Jet-X products for sale, but for shipping inside the UK only as the fuel is now classed as an explosive and will be seized by any customs officers who encounter it. Boo-hiss.

The jetex motors we had in the states back in the 60s and 70s were a really pain in the butt to use, had no duration and the gaskets wore out on the first flight with no possibility of obtaining more. They were not a real fond memory. It seems they perfected them by now, especially in the UK.
