200 MPH+ control line ORANGE MONSTER HIGH SPEED PULSE JET
Once a year I film control line pulse jets at the BMFA Power Nationals. I'm glad it is only once per year because it is terrifying to stand this close to a projectile doing 204 MPH! That being said it is 100% safe as the control line is regularly measured and stress tested so there is zero possibility of it breaking. You will notice that there is fencing around flight area to prevent the trolley or aircraft leaving should the worst happen...and also to prevent any members of the public accidentally straying into the area.
Filmed at the British Model Flying Association (BMFA) Power Nationals ('NATS') event 2019 using the Panasonic AG-UX180 4K pro camcorder by Dom Mitchell of 'Essential RC' KZfaq channel.

I remember building these back in the late 60’s to early 70’s. These things where so super fast and hard to handle. It almost pull my shoulder out of the socket. I had made a special fiberglass wrist forearm brace just to be able to hold on. When I first got into them my father knew people still in the navy who came up with some small jet engines to mess with. I took a old bathtub 1920’s and kustom made a frame suspension designed along the lines of a Jaguar car. I ended up getting arrested for speeding down our street doing 167 mph. The noise that my jet engine put out was unreal. I was really into engineering had 5 degrees. If I wasn’t old and broken down these days. I would still be creating off the wall stuff.

From watching the first 6 videos on it i had gained a little understanding and was aware that 'something was being launched by someone equipped with a precision launching device (a brush in 3 videos) with the something rapidly accelerating to a speed of over 200+ mph becoming a blurred something' Luckily the 7th video covered the preparation for racing the 'somethings', which turned out to be cars, that were the result of some high quality workmanship.

The flight stops at 5:27... then there is more boring stuff until they replay the flight in slomo from 7:01 to 8:48. Seriously, this video would have been awesome if edited down to 2 minutes. Great flight. Just don't need all the stuff that 90% of viewers don't give a crap about. The other thing you can do is move your cursor to the timeline.
