Is it rocket-powered or pulsejet-powered? (There are working model-size pulsejet engines, which usually power high-speed [180 - 200 mph] C/L [Control Line] model airplanes.) Like their full-size Argus (the V-1 powerplant) brethren, the model-size pulsejets are extremely loud and produce a lot of vibration.
