Model ships with jet propulsion

Book excerpt: RC ship models with jet propulsion or water jet propulsion, as you can also say, have been around for many years, but unfortunately only a few model ship builders have familiarised themselves with this type of propulsion. Once you have read this book and seen the many illustrations of jet models, you will also be one of the jet-enthusiastic RC model ship builders. The author explains the technology and you will find that building a jet-powered RC model ship is no more difficult than building a model with conventional propulsion. Numerous pictures illustrate the construction and conversion of models, so that every beginner will be able to venture into building a jet-powered RC ship model.
