Default Magnum+ys.45

I know that 160 mph seems kinda low, but the review of the magnum in Model Airplane News with the eurotech v1 came in at only 125 mph. I don't think I'll get more than that, maybe in a dive. The review was using a radar gun, and not guesstimating like the rest of us. I am fairly sure the magnum is extremely fast, but I don't think it will break 200. It will come in around 160-180. Ducted fans don't even reach 200 very often. That's in a dive from over 1000'-2000' straight down with approx 12lbs thrust.
This magnum is going to kick ***** anyway.

Don
