Hi Mike, LOL-many moons ago...
I have a photo of the pulsejet, but not the ceramic paper. The model was going to be a Fieseler Fi 103. I had trouble mounting the pulsejet (1900degreesF to the model in the nacelle space of the V1) The ceramic was cut and then rolled into a tube that allowed a 1 inch gap between the engine and the cardstock. I used stainless steel wire weaved thru the overlapped edges of the ceramic paper to seal the tube that was created. Fuel system was a challenge, the servo needed has to be really big to rotate the 1/4 turn ball valve on the propane supply. The thrust from the valveless pulsejet is less than 1 lb. Model weight was almost 2 lbs without the pulsejet or fuel sytem or any of the RC gear installed. I have a few construction photos of the Fieseler and a couple of the pulsejet. The model was never completed. I've since been looking for something with delta wings and short wingspan to loose some weight. One aircraft I'm looking real hard at is the D-21 Drone. Been building and flying many differnt models since the pulsejet project. Been flying a 6ft long F104 Freeflight and have ready a 5 foot long, 24-oz Xf92 RC slope glider that I just finished today.
