2025 High Speed Challenge - Houndpup Rc

Okay same here....maybe I just land faster anyway 😂

Maybe, landing wasn't bad, but avoid slow turns…

Yeah, and don't pull up hard on a humid day! 😂

I am working on painting mine right now! BTW @Mr Man did you put BBQ in the leading edge like me?

Nope, I wanted the sharpest leading edge possible. (Which didn’t happen lol) But mine still seems really strong!

Yeah i did that with mine to give it a much stronger leading edge...I want as much strength as possible! I have to say though that launching it is easier than I thought it was going to be for such a heavy plane!

I have about 45% Expo! 😂

I’ve got 60😂

 

[Houndpup Rc]

I’ve got 60😂

I might turn it up to that even!

 

[Mr Man]

I might turn it up to that even!

70 might be best for ELEVATOR Aileron is good at 60 I think.

ARRRGGGGHHH! I crashed the radjet AGAIN today! It's the launch which keeps getting me....But at least I think I figured out what is going wrong.....So when I launch it flips over but my rates are too low for me to flip back over in time and I go crunch, right into the ground! Thankfully its a very repairable design and I will be able to repair it again and this time turn up my high rates for takeoff and then have my low rates for the high speeds.

Though I did hit 100mph with my 5" drone! (I gotta enter that and do a vid...Maybe FT Arrow vs 5" quad!)

 

[Mr Man]

That’s too bad. I’m also glad it turned out to be a very repairable plane, as you never know what’ll happen at 150mph😂😂

Yeah, so i am hoping to repair it and try again Thursday. (This is getting a little old!🤣) I am hoping fly 3D will help advance my skill level..
