Need For Speed Project II

Post by o1moregil »

I built this wing last week, and I flew it yesterday, it's purty fast[}:)][}:)], haven't raydared it yet but guys at the field say it maybe hitting 150mph or 160mph, it has a 46 fx on a tune pipe, sucker screams on a 10X7 , I will be trying diffrent props to see if I can get more speed, it has a fully semetrical airfoil at about 1" thick and its only 2 3/4lbs. I didn't tack it, my tac needs some batteries[V]

Looks good Gil. 150 is smokin`. I`ve got a new electric speed machine that I`m working on. I`ll post some info after I`ve got it flying.

Hey Gil

your pipe seems a little longer than the 8" allowed
in the Open B rule. But then maybe your plane has
a different purpose[:D][:D]
