200 MPH+ control line *DREADNOUGHT PULSE JET* (BMFA NATS 2017) [*UltraHD and 4K*]

200 MPH+ control line DREADNOUGHT PULSE JET (BMFA NATS 2017) [*UltraHD and 4K*]
First time I had seen one of these and certainly one of the scariest to film. Safety dictated I filmed from behind the safety fencing obviously but you get the clear impression of the speed of these projectiles. The line is fixed to a pole in the centre and the pitch/elevator control by a slider that moves backwards and forwards on the line. The movement on the elevator is tiny. No more than 2mm. The power from these pulse jets varies from 4lbs to 8lbs. Enough power to push these models to over 200mph average over 8 circuits! This 'Dreadnought' pulse jet was flown by Richard Grindley.
Filmed at the British Model Flying Association (BMFA) Power Nationals ('NATS') event 2017 using the Panasonic AG-UX180 4K pro camcorder by Dom Mitchell of 'Essential RC' KZbin channel.

Essential RC hello brother how can I buy one of that please I need that leave a number on that

[@bibratadas111]

From where we can buy this Engine?

[@ricomckennie1757]

Essential RC i sure don’t wanna get in the way of that 😅

[@jeffbeck6501]

That fence ain't stoppin no 200+ mph metal pipe. This people are nuts to stand there. The only guy safe is the guy flying it.

[@mreid08]

That's what I'm thinking too

[@Kekelala1976]

+1, even if it stops, the aircraft would shatter into piece and projectiles from it flying into the bystanders.

[@andrewriegel6787]

Agreed.. this is some super Boring & super dangerous... Your eyes can't even see it.

[@donovannorris9837]

Jeff Beck plus I'm getting a bit dizzy and feel like I'm gonna pass out ........keep an eye out on my plane so I can find who's throat it punctured when I come to and regain my senses lol

[@acalthu]

you said it. 2kgs moving at 200mph.

[@kaseymathew1893]

This looks horrifyingly dangerous and therefore really cool.

[@EssentialRC]

Imagine how I felt filming through the gap in the fence. Terrifying. Cheers Dom (Essential RC)

[@cannedcheese4189]

True

[@deangiacopassi1951]

The video doesn't give you the raw noise and speed of seeing and hearing it in person. You can easily hear these a mile or two away over flat ground.

[@TheSaucie1]

You get a like from me just to counteract the negative Nancies that can't understand the concept of letting people have fun in their own way. Kudos for building the rocketship, hanging on, and having a good time in the process!

[@EssentialRC]

Yeah. I'm with you. What does it matter? If some people enjoy this aspect of the hobby then good for them. It is challenging in its own way and I enjoyed watching them in action. Cheers Dom (Essential RC)

[@Mystipaoniz]

People don't understand how every single passion is subject to critics, moquery and fun. ^^ Just let them be, they are sad people. ;) I love the fact that anything can be a passion, and i'm happy to see diversity in hobbies. Wouldn't it be dull if everyone liked the same thing? Cheers! o/

[@SN1350]

So just because you like a video, the world should like it too and if they dont, then they are Nancies? not sure if you are familiar with how youtube works, but let me educate you. there is a like and a dislike button. you are free to click on which one ever you choose. the publisher made the video public. he also allowed viewers to post comments. when you do that, you will get variety of opinions from all kinds of people. Not sure what you saw, but when I watched this video, all I saw a dot going across my screen and some guy walking in a very tight circle. ya, lot of excitement.

[@NomadSoul76]

I thought I'd seen everything, but this is a whole new level of amazing ridiculousness.

[@chr0min0id]

Damn that thing is fast. It’s not even designed to look pretty. It’s that badass.

[@arthur52353]

So cool. I remember seeing these engines in the early sixties but only in model airplane mags.First time ever saw one fly.

[@250tegra]

Stone me, that's impressive! Control-line was my first love, way back when. Single-channel radios cost far more than I earned!

[@Allan_aka_RocKITEman]

I came from the same background. Flew CL in the 70s as a teen. I suspect *M-A-N-Y* _"younger"_ people who watch videos like this, in this day and age {currently 2019} when we have DRONES coming out of the wazoo, just CANNOT fathom that R/C tech was at one time either *$$$$,* DIFFICULT to acquire, or just plain *NONEXISTENT....*

[@steshar2975]

Ozzy brought me here lol it's a guy that makes funny voice overs of videos. And no one ever saw this sport before. So we all investigating it

[@jamie57061]

I could never get my head around people wanting to fly a model by control line, just round and round in circles. But each to their own.... And your jet motor sounded bang on! Well done, and thanks for sharing...

[@Allan_aka_RocKITEman]

Absolutely NO disrespect intended when I say: TRY being a TEENAGER in the *1970s.* NOT lots of *$$$,* in your pocket, and *R/C* cost *$$$.* Moreover, the guys - ADULTS - in the club I was a member of in the 1970s had been flying CL since AT LEAST as far back as the 1960s. Back THEN, there WAS little or no R/C....

[@Bobsunfire]

What a great video! It has it all - speed, danger, extreme line pull, and just loads of fun!

[@Entity_BlackRed777]

Now THAT is exercising!! And that pulse jet engine sound DOPE as HELL!!!! (And a bit futuristic, surprisingly!!)

[@PetrincicBrosRC]

Wow... I havent seen anything like this before. Now this is fast. Oh yeah... Great video. Thanks for posting. Big solute from Slovenia, Pilot Robert

[@EssentialRC]

Thanks Robert. Glad you enjoyed it. Cheers Dom (Essential RC)

[@HenauderTitzauf]

I remember seeing one of these when I was just a wee lad. Fast isn’t the word tongues. Great vlog, thanks for sharing, especially the slowed down version.

[@Lawesyp]

I never knew anything like this existed. That's why I love this channel.

[@EssentialRC]

+Phill Lawes Great to hear. Thanks Phil. Cheers Dom (Essential RC)

[@josipvrandecic2472]

Watching this brilliant video has awakened old my memories and dilemmas ... The question is :Who enyoy more.......the viewers or pilots ?? !! Appreciate buddy.

[@onmyworkbench7000]

Back in the 1960's when I was just a kid my dad and I went to a model meet in Seabring Florida and we saw where one of thouse BROKE luse and went through the door of a parked car and lodged in the front seat. The car was an early 60's model back when cars had REAL STEEL IN THEM. After that we never watched them from out in the open!

[@966Mako]

Didn't know what to expect, but that was impressive. But part of the rules should be, that the pilot should have to run that white line as far as they can before falling.

[@ceptimus]

Excellent camerawork. Thanks.

[@EssentialRC]

Appreciate the feedback ceptimus. Cheers Dom (Essential RC)

[@quadflopper1012]

control line jet, that's insane

[@gilbertsanchez2568]

To all the guys that can't see the fun in this and say its Boring, look at all the people in the video most of them are old folks that are reliving the things that make them happy, its like a few guys that asks some fellow Do you still have one of those U-control planes? And it probably started a chain reaction to all their old buddies and new old farts :)

[@mikmerl1]

When ignorance is bliss

[@mikmerl1]

@Marrowbones And we have a winner …….this has to be the most pathetic and moronic post ever in the history of uTube. You think what you are seeing here is a bunch of senile old men trying to recapture their lost childhood by doing kids stuff. You are completely ignorant to what it is you saw, be that as it may show some respect you jackass. I noticed that your channel has no content it is in perfect harmony with what is in your head.

[@mikmerl1]

@Marrowbones Fastest repost in history. Why did you delete, that in itself says quite a lot. Probably the best action of your entire career “doctor” was to retire.

[@marvinkitfox3386]

Quick calculation says that thing is experiencing 49g of acceleration , by circling that fast.. That must make the construction of the cable, body and jet fuel systems *reeealy* tricky!

[@wildweedle6012]

I wish control line was more popular in the US. I love this stuff.

[@Masonh687]

This what a good video it inspired me to make a fast meshin

[@jimpinckard7891]

I just don't see the fun in this but if these guys do that's fine. Just going around in a circle real fast and getting drunk, I just don't get it.

[@curtismayne1]

Getting drunk and dizzy could be the title

[@2strokeme64]

Well I get the getting drunk part but...

[@jR060t]

Sorta like NASCAR I guess :D

[@call911forcookies2]

I never get how anyone could fly control line if there's rc, donesnt make sense lol

[@6figs]

Getting drunk is the main event, nothing else matters.

[@thedelaminator]

My dad had a pulse jet when he was a lad in the late 1940's. He often told me about the day when he started it in the kitchen. The cat eventually came back after several days...

[@morterforker69]

Nice job flying. I used to fly pulse jets too. Record speed was 212 MPH. Didn't use pole in center - just leaned back LOL. What fuel are you using? I used nitromethane and propylene oxide. Don't remember the ratio...maybe 50/50? EDIT: Used dual line, not single.

[@jamescornflake1542]

Makes stamp collectors exciting.

[@robertkinholt621]

That's insane doing that, it's hard enough tracking a RC jet model, control line, no way, I remember those as a teen flying u control

[@phantomblott1]

Just insane to watch. I fly a Sig Banshee with an old K&B .35, the lap times for me are around 5.1 second's. This guy is at best around 1.35 to 1.4 second lap's, just insane. I bet it will take 5 minutes just to recover.

[@j.jasonwentworth723]

I considered trying my hand with these Control Line pulse jet models, but my terror was of tripping, or otherwise getting into a situation where I "fell behind" the model's speed, so that the line quickly wrapped around me--ending with the flaming, red-hot pulse jet engine burning my flesh! RC pulse jet models don't have that problem--just the tremendous noise!

[@gbrm6077]

When I was a kid in the 50s, I watched the grown-ups flying one of these. They didn't have leaf blowers or compressed air to start them with back then, they had a bicycle tire pump. It took about 10 or 15 minutes of furious hand pumping before they got it to fire up. That, with a short flight time, didn't seem worth it to us kids. Sure was fun though!

[@werner7156]

just crazy but i like it !

Wow nice to see controlining alive

[@frankbradleyjr]

ROTFLMAO

[@squadofsquidstv7077]

Mr. Mango yeah replace the line with a sharp piano wire and your all set to go.

[@adamedward205]

Think you will find thats what it actually is round piano wire.

[@michaelclark2840]

Strewth. Got dizzy just watching this. Used to fly control line glow plug models 50 years ago. Not a patch on the speed of this unit.

[@berniegerth]

What fuel mix are they using? I have one that I run straight gasoline with. Probably don't break 110 mph. That's fine with me. Really enjoy taking it out once every other year. Thanks for posting, great to see others enjoying them!

[@stevendee2831]

These are awesome

[@mechant-malade405]

Awesome and amazing ❤

[@acalthu]

I remember when line controlled planes were relatively safe, a la cox line line controlled aircraft.

[@TheLucasHiggins]

If that thing breaks off the string that fence is going to do nothing

[@rc18trocks]

The Lucas Higgins the plane will just nosedive anyway so I don't see your point

[@ferrarigirl666]

@@rc18trocks dont think so

[@mikmerl1]

Its not string, its steel cable and they do a pull test to verify its integrity

[@lomasck]

@@rc18trocks Well not really.My two line 160mph jet snapped both lines instantly .The fence stopped it dead in its tracks dropping to the floor in bits.

[@Fur8002]

When played back at the lower speed, it sounds just like WW2 doodlebug, which was also a pulse jet.

[@Miohunter444]

A buzz bomb.

[@KimmyR3]

because they use the same engine, a pulse jet.

[@montykemp4057]

A larger engine operates at a lower Hertz (frequency) and it sounds slower.

It sound like v1 rocket

..Up next we have Steve with his rock tied to a string, he will be swinging it around his head for style points… “how will his new invention preform today? Only time will tell Cathy” back to you!

[@Harlanmote]

That is insane cool awesome thrilling and just plain fun..

[@mohawkdriver4155]

Insane speed.

[@VigilanceTech]

looks like it needs a lot longer control lines in order to get less dizzy and maybe do some aerobatics with it while up.

[@ModellpilotEU]

Great Show.

[@ApriliaRacer14]

Stick around kids...next we have running with scissors and playing with broken glass...lol!

[@kencroft7933]

Incorrect. The line is not fixed to a pole, it is held by the pilot. The handle held by the pilot fits into a stirrup on the centre "pole" just to ensure that the plane is flying at a constant radius, this being necessary to accurately establish the speed.

[@jasonargone5993]

Wow, something I never saw before, that damn thing is scary all the way from start to finish...better you than me, lol

[@BigRedNZ1]

On one hand, that's bonkers. On the other... how to take a spectacular and fun hobby, and constrain it to a circle. And I'm surprised the OSH crowd haven't shut this down already. The vector means disaster when the wire breaks

[@dalekmun2010]

"Why not just fly it like a regular RC..." (Watches takeoff) "Holy shit"

One got loose only just last weekend, and severed the feet from 6 spectators and the throats of 3 more. Such things happen, you know.

I remember seeing a dad trying out his kid's control line aircraft in a parking lot (it was the kids Christmas gift). It flew one and a half turns before arching up then straight down to the pavement. The dad's comments were 'This is defective! I'm taking it back for a refund!'

All I can say is WOW !!!!!!!

[@kenneth6731]

Man if that thing comes loose it will slice through that fence like it's Velveeta!

[@cornpopwasabaddude4729]

What would happen if the cable breaks?

[@christophersmith2014]

What’s the point ? I mean do they even fly as it seems the guy in the middle is the one who lifts it of the ground and turns with it as it goes round

[@JoeOvercoat]

That fencing will stop something going that fast?

[@Su67377s]

yes. but not if plane breaks into pieces

[@modelrc9500]

More for idiots who accidentally walk into the path of it and get decapitated

There were wide gaps in the fence, I dont belive that would stop one of those engines going off. Could do some real damage if that thing snaps off. Imagine bystander get that engine to the face.

[@Pheonix2022]

At first I was really trying to find the appeal in this. I landed (heh...) on the idea that if I were an engineer I'm sure I would appreciate all the brilliant design work, precise calculations, time spent, and craftsmanship put into making one of these. I admired the fact that the participants are all probably very smart people, little nerdy, but nothing wrong with that. The world needs all the smart nerds we can get, right? Then I saw that fuckin "protective" fence they put up....Christ....
