Has anyone ever built a scale model of a V2? Complete with pulse jet? That really would be something to behold although possibly in poor taste.

Err a V2 was a Rocket not a pulse jet. V1 was a pulse jet & several have modelled it. It doesn't make a fantastic model as it handles very strangely. The original was gyro stabilised so didn't need to fly in the conventional sense. In fact they built a version that housed a pilot, as they had handling issues with the early ones. Hannah Rietsch <sp> was one of the few pilots who A. survived & B. was small enough to fly it!

myself and a mate who builds model and UAV jet engines for a living built a valveless pulsejet this year (it's proped up next to my fireplace as you read this LOL) we tried to get it running but never could get it to sustain, it would pope and fart and let out loud bands like a shot gun going off.....oh what fun.

he did build a pulsejet which was sold on ebay, that DID run and ohhhh what a noise!
