2025 High speed Challenge

[Houndpup Rc]

The same ting happened to me, not more that 36mph!!

I wonder if we bought the same one.....

 

[Mr Man]

Huh?

It uses the difference in sound to figure it out.

Oh

 

[Houndpup Rc]

i havent test the one i purchased yet…but i have EXTREME speculation over the speeds reported here.

100 mph is 150 feet per second roughly, thats a football field in 2 seconds. there is not a single plane video in this forum that i have seen that is doing a football field per second….

there might be some doing it…i have not seen it yet.

Here is the precise conversion! (WOw! I am smart!...JK I used Chatgpt!)
100 mph = 146.67 feet per second

It looked good......BTW if you have any drone Flight controllers you can use a GPS like this and it will be very accurate!

I should state that the entries have to stay foam....No wood or carbon fiber ect. BTW @Mr Man was the record a foamboard plane?

 

[LitterBug]

You guys and use anything!

Scimitar: Chasing 100mph

The goal for this project is to go fast: 100 mph. The airframe and decal scheme are inspired by formula one air racing designs, particularly the Seguin Wasabi Special, shown below. It managed 70mph on 3s and 80mph on 4s using Power Pack C and a 9x9, 107mph on 4s with a Cobra 2820/8 1450kv...

Basically to do that, you pick the matching motor/prop dia/pitch with the best battery combo and find a plane that can handle it.

True....So I guess nevermind! (I forgot about that)

No, a Radjet, but I’m working on one that will hopefully go 200. But I’ll NEED to use CF, because a foam wing spar won’t handle 9 g’s🤣

Yup, I meant just for the whole construction but then @LitterBug pointed out I said anything....So anything it is!

Do you have any plans for what you are going to put it on?

 

[Mr Man]

Oh yeah, and I’m trying out some new building techniques, I’ll tell everyone if it works.

Yessir I do😁
