WOW that was exhilarating! Radar gun on the way! AWESOME! Your fastest pass, I'm thinking 106mph. Before the gun gets there, what do you think?
Not sure, trying not to get my hopes up. But if I'm not happy I have ideas for V3

Thanks! That landing had a bit of a headwind, wanted to write that in the video but the editing software I tried doesn't have text.That thing is fast, I am not even gonna guess. The flaps sure slow it down though, nice landing.
Hey Xmas is coming up... are you gonna get me one of each too![]()
Oh, shoot! Who's gonna hold the radar gun? Doesn't matter. I just can't wait to see what the figures are! Oh. My. Gosh. I am absolutely stoked to see how fast you're going! I want that. I'm not pulling anywhere near the speed you are, but just knowing how fast I just flew my Spitfire above my head would be pretty darn cool!We'll I'm anxious to try this out. Hopefully this weekend

And I've been absent from the forums because I've been busy playing and building things with this

Now YOU've got a darn 3d printer, too? Seems like everyone but me. What do you plan to do with it? That's a pretty big question, eh? You've got the 3d printer. What are you planning to do with it?![]()

Holy cow, that's cool as heck! I can't imagine flying a plane that fast. Never mind, even faster!Beautiful day at the flying field, clear skies, pretty much no wind, and I ran 2 packs on the Cub, 2 packs on my Sea Duck/Goose (I call it Sea Goose) and 2 packs on the Racer...... Fastest pass with the radar gun....117mph.
The fastest pass was pretty much the first one and each one after was about 4mph slower until about 100mph and at that point the battery was pretty much done. I don't have photo proof of the first pass but I have this.

Next step, install this with a 10x9 prop....![]()
Is this speed on 4s?
You change to that motor and prop and it would be nuts!
Well that was flight number 11 and 12 for V2 and my fingers finally weren't shaking for once! Actually I think there were a bit shaky before launch, but calm after that.Holy cow, that's cool as heck! I can't imagine flying a plane that fast. Never mind, even faster!
What kind of planes are you thinking of for winter?Yes on 4s, none of my 3s battery's are suitable for this plane, either too small or not high enough C rating.
We'll see what happens with the new motor. I'm thinking of building a V3 of this plane with some ideas of making it more slippery, but I may wait till spring as the fields I fly at will be too soggy during the winter. I'll move onto planes with wheels or that can land on snow. Just printed off a set of skis for my cub.![]()
Going to build a Guinea pig, if there's no snow I have a good area to land, may try to put skis on it for snow. Plan is to see how slow I can make it fly, nice thing is with the removable wing I can try things out easily without concerning myself of making things permanent. Also going to put lights on it since the days will be shorter.What kind of planes are you thinking of for winter?
It sounds like you're experiencing torque roll and a bit of P factor. Adjusting your thrust angle so that it points more to the right (when looking at the plane from above) should solve your issue, 1 to 2 degrees is normally enough.Hi Everyone,
Great job Sero!!! Looks bad ass!!!
I have a stock racer built and have added a 3536 1800 on it with a 8 x 5 prop and a 3s battery but I am getting pretty bad left roll on launch and full throttle.
Anyone have any ideas what could be the problem. Is the drive system not correct?
Thanks
Ed
