Jet Speed  Models  -  PJAA  -  History

 

These Jet Speed pages are a reproduction of a website first created in 2002 by John Adams, and maintained later by Rob Fry. Circumstances changed and Rob was unable to host the website, so it disappeared.

 

 



 

Since the Nowra Nationals in April 2000 a group of Pulse Jet enthusiasts from around Australia have been working together to form an interest group to promote the Jet scene and really get things moving. Their main interests are in Control line models but also support the use of Pulse Jets with Radio Control models as well.

At the Albury Nationals end of 2001 the Pulse Jet Aeromodellers of Australia (PJAA) were formally created and were incorporated as an association in May 2002.

First task has been to propose a set of rule changes in the Control line speed class for the controlling body for Aeromodelling, 'MAAA', rules conference in 2001. The proposed rule changes were forwarded to the Chairman of the C/L Technical Subcommittee and have been accepted by the MAAA and published in the Australia rules, C/L section.

In August 2002 PJAA were recognised as a National Special Interest Group with regard to the use of Pulse jets in model aircraft by the MAAA.

We hope to encourage more modellers into flying Pulse jets and to develop a strong competition class through sharing our knowledge and experience with Jets.

Over recent years many advances and improvements have been made with Pulse Jets and some excellent products are now available from the United States.

 

Quite often when Jets are being flown there will always be one or two people who talk about knowing someone who owns a Pulse Jet but never uses it. We are looking for these people as well as those who would like to have a Jet but think it is too complicated or difficult to purchase, set up or use.

The Pulse Jet Aeromodellers of Australia Inc. have representatives in most states that can be contacted for information about Pulse Jets.
