|  Vintage RC Jet OS engine!
I can't even imagine using this beast! From the looks of it this thing has never been run. It is an OS Mark II jet engine     Anyone even hear of these before? |

 I'm not sure on what kind of value it holds, but I'd put it up on the shelf. Last edited by Mad Scientist; 10-14-2009 at 08:21 PM. | |

I have no plan for it at the moment. I'm pretty sure it was used with u-control planes. This looks close to what mine is... http://cgi.ebay.com/Super-OS-Jet-Typ...item3ca64b2524 Or this one... http://cgi.ebay.com/SUPER-OS-JET-TYP...item3ca66a6cf5 |

to bad they excluded jet engines from the speed challenge. That thing could be interesting.

Whatcha need? PM me and we will work something out! My uncle use to have a several of these. We mounted one up to a old pan car that we extended and we shot it off like a rocket! They sound crazy as they power up! It's like a popping sound that gets faster and faster till it's just a stupid fast buzzing! I could see this in a ProMod drag car! |

Is it just me or pulse jets need some airspeed to operate decently. My uncle had a version 1 pulse jet from OS (valveless) with which he built a V1 RC rocket maaany years ago. Even this version which is valved still must need some airspeed to operate at full efficiency. If this was in my hands I would build a German V1 rocket with it. It looks as if it was made for that purpose.
