🤣. Yup, too late. I like speed.

How is the Hotliner going?

Coming along well, Gotta finish the wing, and find some nuts and bolts for the wing mount.

But, I haven’t been able to get a good flight out of the Funjet yet with the 7x9 prop….

Nice!...I guess I am giving you more of a run for your money than I thought! 😂

Yeah, I want to see you give it the works!.....I found the secret to my crashes on launch with the radjet..You have to give it just enough throttle to get it in the air but I was giving it too much to the torque roll would just whip it over before I could get up speed.

Ah, that makes a lot of sense! I have to do the same thing with the Funjet.

Yup, in the first video that I will put out (Yesterday) I figured it out.

The really good fliers might just let it fly inverted, or continue the roll back to upright or change the launch to start inverted. Can't say, I ain't that good. Never had a torque roll issue either, come to think of it. Half power works. Or point it straight up, like a heli

It tends to start losing altitude when i go upside down.....And when you are going 100+ the process of going down is kinda fast! 😂 😂

Video! (BTW the part where I say: Whoa!" when flying back towards wasn't meant to happen even though it looks cool!🤣🤣🤣

Keep in mind the GPS tracker reads 119 but I found out the next day (Next video) that it was getting a bad reading because of it being located under the ESC (It's a big 80a one so it completely covers it and there is a lot of current flowing thru it...) so in this video I was probably going like 140mph+ but that not verified....Next video will be when I hit 158!

Edited first post..We are getting a nice collection of videos up there!

Bonus points for flying barefoot. I wouldn't dare at our field! And what's with the throws almost full verical at the start of the video???? That can't be goot on a high speed vehicle!!

I have to because the wing loading is so heavy that it would fall into the ground before it could get enough speed up and I could get my hands to the controls 😂

I wouldn't either, but our yard is pretty soft and the only thing you have to watch out for is bees...And the occasional snake or turtle!😂

Hit 268 coasting down a hill on this 52 miler today...

Had to hit the brakes at the fastest part, or it may have been even faster....

Aw man, you beat my next vid by 10mph! 😂

I wouldn't dare fly at that field barefoot ! Who knows what is hiding in that grass 😂

Oh wait...That's 110mph!

Can we submit another entry with the same plane? I hit 111mph a couple days after the run I sent, I need to try and cling to 2nd place
