After a few delays and some lastminute changes to the fuel system so that the engine could draw fuel up the 8inches between the tankbottom and the spraybar, the first flight of the pulsejetpowered World Models TameCat has happened.

It's sure not lacking in power (10lbs thrust versus 7lbs flying weight) and it was damned fast!

Despite being a mildmannered pussycat when powered by a regular glowengine it's very apparent that under full jetthrust I'm going to have to cut back the elevator throw a little. The TameCat is such a big pussy to fly once the power's off though landing is a breeze!

The engine switched to leanmode shortcycling when I pulled highG's in the second turn so I'll have ti increase the fuel pressure some more and reduce the size of the fuelmetering jet so as to reduce the effect of hiG's on fuelflow.

With luck, I'll get the changes done and fly it again tomorrow!

And if you like what you see, tell World Models that they should offer a pulsejet version with a few modifications. I'll let them have the necessary changes. This is the perfect pulsejet trainer!
