Default RE: challenging speed plane modification


ORIGINAL: geh3

This will be a fast plane and a lot of fun.... the fastest electric I have ever seen is a sunracer see http://www.espritmodel.com/l_sunracer.html
when that plane flys at our local club, people tend to gather behind the clubhouse and the shed that houses our lawnmowers because it is obvious that it could penetrate any part of the human body easily. It is a full blown f5 racer and is ridiculously fast .. when it climbs straight up it does not slow down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thats actually me flying that sunracer on esprit's website. Its a fantastic plane, but only flutter's at 160mph. That is why I built the electric nemesis which is solid at 200+mph. Regardless, neither plane is well suited for nitro power.

Nice thing about these fast electrics, is that you get 6-8 min of runtime with throttle management. But if you have your heart set on nitro power, I would think the F3d ariframes would be the way to go.
