2025 High speed Challenge

Man, I started cutting out the Pup 328 Lightening last night and that thing is SMALL!

 

[Houndpup Rc]

Yessir I do😁

Maybe you should get a second one.......For putting on the Sr-71.....

 

[Houndpup Rc]

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

Cool!

🤣🤣🤣 Maybe, but first I’ll see what a twin F pack can do.

It should be pretty light as it's going to be roughly 3 sheets of foam I think....

Nice!

 

[Houndpup Rc]

Just about got a full sheet done!

 

[Mr Man]

Noice, I think doing the plans nicely takes more time…🤣🤣

LOL, I think I am still going to have to do I lot of redrawing.....

What’s up guys!
I’m hosting a High Speed Challenge, and as you can guess by the title — it’s all about SPEEEED!

Here’s what you need to enter:​

• A fast airplane. Doesn’t matter if it’s a jet, warbird, pylon racer — as long as it’s fast, it counts.
• Some way to track your speed. You can use an RID module, a bike GPS tracker, a radar gun — anything that gives an accurate reading. (Tip: test it by driving with the tracker out the window and comparing it to your car’s speed.)
• A video. You’ve gotta get some footage of your plane flying at high speed.
• Nerves of steel. Seriously — this isn’t for the faint of heart. 😂

You can use whatever setup you want — electric, gas, even a rocket if you can figure out how to do it!🤣

BTW — if you crash, no worries. Just rebuild and keep going. You can make as many planes or runs as you need to. What matters is getting your plane to go at INSANE speeds!

You can start building right now. Just make sure to post a build thread with your username like this:

How long would it take you to build it?

Do we have a running list of who is at what speed whith what aircraft? Been busy with FliteFest stuff and haven't kept up with all the threads.

I am at 0. I have only flown one 15" quad due to weather and time constraints.
