Thank you for posting that. The Jetex.org website is down--its creator, Roger Simmonds, has been working toward re-launching it, and I hope this is it! The smaller Jetex motors were very marginal at best for powering VTO (Vertical Take-Off) models, usually requiring an elastic catapult assist. But the Jetex 50-HT ("High-Thrust," having a loaded weight of 0.5 ounces and a thrust of 5 ounces) and the Jetex Scorpion 600 (loaded weight 2 ounces, thrust 5.5 - 6 ounces [without augmentor tube; 7 - 7.5 ounces with augmentor tube]) were specifically designed for VTO models of missiles and rockets. Paul Del Gatto, a prolific American Jetex model designer, created a beautiful Bomarc that was powered by a Scorpion 600 and two low-thrust 50B Jetex motors. |
