2025 High speed Challenge

[Mr Man]

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 flown one quad due to weather and time constraints.

I’m at 154.

Rumors of +180, but just gps displays, no good repeating videos of the actual through traps. Dunno, the guy could own a porsche or Countache. Glider guys do it more than once, videoed

Actually, unless you see an entire video of the flight, you don't know how it was obtained since most GPS readings only record top speeds, so was it in a dive? straight and level? etc, What's the accuracy of the GPS?
At least fly it across the field in a race track pattern at a 50-100(no wind) ft height so we can see it to believe it or dive down in front of the camera.. The G's pulled in a turn or pullup will tell the story of the structure of foam. Fluttering can become a problem as mentioned by Mr. P. So, seeing is believing.

Yeah, I barely go into a dive that way I barely have to pull out. They Radjet doesn't have any CF spars..

I LOVE pulling out of a full throttle dive and the wing leaves the fuse then FPV goes blank. LOL

Slap goggles off to see wing fluttering down and fuse impacting ground. PRICELESS!

I am using a drone GPS that has a 10hz refresh rate so it's accurate!

I said dives are okay because the goal is to say what the materials can hold up too! (Especially foam board....)

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

Now we do! (I edited this post at the bottom I will have each of us in order of speed..)

2025 High speed Challenge

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...

Man! @Mr Man seems to be kinda lonely there at the top of the list! 🤣 🤣

🤣🤣👍. My foamboard plane is almost done! Having a hard time balancing it out though! (Nose heavy). BTW, It’s a modified Versa wing.

And I’m going to make the Radjet faster…. By being even more electronically irresponsible. 😁😂

@Houndpup Rc had that once with his first nn800 spitfire (it was rather interesting).
