Well they are pretty small to me at least and they are running at only 6s…..my question is why are don’t you guys use a more powerful motor and paired with a larger airframe and wingspan ?

Because, if I had the money I;d buy something else 🤣

That’s understandable but you don’t have to spend a lot of money to get a powerful motor that can run on 8-12s so I would at least consider it because it is easier to go faster with a bigger airplane and a bigger motor and I have seen some pretty powerful motors that run on 8-12s for pretty decent prices....and I just know remember that one time you told me you were gonna use a red color leopard motor that can run on 8s on a foamboard hotliner.....why not use that motor.....

Doesn't really matter how much power or batteries you got. Aint going sonic without a dive of some duration, especially with a prop. Faster you go the less efficient the prop becomes
The really fast people use a jet, look MA, no prop.

True......there is a guy with a rc jet that has gone 800 kmh and according to him he had to dive his plane from about 700 meters in the air to get to that speed....

After the war, they got a P51 sonic after a dive, for a while, until it destructed over Edwards afb

Well, it went up in smoke…. Literally.

Oh thats unfortunate.....

We are NOT running small drone motors🤣🤣🤣.

Very nice 119 is pretty good but im still wondering why you and @Mr Man are using such small motors that run on 6s that are meant for fpv drones. I would like to see you guys build a larger version of this radjet design and put a larger more powerful motor on there. Something running on 8s or even 12s would be very interesting to watch and im sure you guys would be able to reach higher speeds...

Yeah! ....Just try flying ours and tell me they aren't hard! LOL (I haven't actually been flying without a gyro that long...So I think overall I am not doing too bad)

A little factor called: Price 😂 😂

I think its very possible on my setup, I just have to get a little bit of a dive going....

Drone motors are usually 2207 or 2306...We are using 3536

Also, as I said before, making a smaller airframe to reach 200mph is a lot easier than with something bigger....especially since we are building with foamboard...The larger you go, the less strength to surface area you get and the more likely hood of your airframe ripping apart happens (That actually happened to @Mr Man's!)

That I know and that makes sense but I only said this because none have you have reached your target speeds of 200 yet.....and it's been quite a while since you guys have built the airplanes and I was expecting one of you to have reached those speeds by now....

That's true...But I also haven't gone into it 100% (I have other stuff to do in life 👍 )

 

[Zoom Master]

Again I believe you...they are probably not easy to fly but thats not the point and I never said they weren't hard to fly

True maybe I just like building large foamboard airplanes....and have gone pretty fast with some of them before so yeah....and you are correct with the less strength the bigger you go.

Seems like money is a big factor here.

No, I was just laughing, because I have smashed 3 radjets because of bad launches! 😂 😂 👍

Or I should say: it is hard to lunch compare to say, the FT arrow...

Yup! Though that is a thing for most people....
