2026 Speed Challenge - MadMonkey

[RickHunter]

Thanks. Gonna 3d print something for this challenge if time permits, just not sure what yet. Only FC I ever used is on my FPV glider. Got a new Speedybee f405 wing on my shelf, just not sure if I should use it (I hate soldering).

And spins with differential thrust are just silly 😁

I love differential thrust.

Lucky you!😁

I have a extra quad one, but don't really need it...I should it it on eBay or something (Started to put in a a quad I was going to build but never finished it and the other pieces for the quad got used to other projects...So now there is only the FC/esc, frame and motors!😂)

Lucky you!😁

Yea. I bought two at the same time a year or two ago. The spare was for a long range fpv that I've never got around to.

Man, I can't wait to see the video clip!😁👍 Going to order myself a Corewing (basically Speedybee) F405 wing here...before they go up in price again!😆 (It will run Ardupilot and INAV)

I have an F405 Wing in my AR Wing Classic, it works great 🙂

I was gonna throw one in my Warlock for long range cruising but it's pretty limited on space so I fly it raw. I think the Nemesis is a better idea for cruising.

Like it in my FPV glider with all the displays in my goggles. Had some dirt bikers come by once asking about our planes. They loved the head tracking, and were amazed how it just circled us on its own while we talked.

That's so cool! I can't wait to see what my VTOL can do with ardupilot!😁

164 mph within the first month - we're looking at some crazy fast planes this year

I know! I gotta get building, so I at least end up in 3rd place!😆😆

Come on. You can get above 164mph to come in 2cd, right behind me. 😀😁🤣. Lol. MadMonkey is setting the bar way high on this one.
