What is the fastest ready board model you can build before the ready board comes apart. I'm not talking about speed builds. I'm talking about air speed. Can it go super sonic???

Hmm, I actually don't know, but I doubt it. The heat would almost surely melt the foam at supersonic speeds. I've always wondered what would happen if I put a piece of DTFB without any paper on the outside of a jet....

I can’t believe I didn’t think of that, especially since I did model rockets before planes…
Hope I didn't give you any ideas for "the speed challenge"..... Cough cough.... wink wink...

I have been on chatgpt this afternoon calculating top speeds with weight and I am hoping to hit 160 - 200 mph.....I guess according to chatgpt that my Pup 328 Lightening will get the "shake of death" if I start getting over 100...So I might have to make something a little bigger and put my 3536 on it.......

Hmmm... I have a 3536 1200KV from the surfer 2000 I exploded last year..... Maybe I should put it on the FT trainer and see how fast it flys apart!

May have a 3536, but what about everything else???
Back in the day...... centuri rockets had motors that would do couple pounds of rocket. Keeping the fins attached was that particular issue back then. (Glue joint was the weak link). Don't see why foamboard wouldn't work if you keep it from fluttering. Got a KFM wing that's wicked fast in a dive, aileron flutter is my issue, pullout is by going inverted because that is pull on the control rods. Then you need to replace the ailerons, again.....
