Default RE: Extreme Speed of Propeller or Airplane ???

Yes and No.

Those jets look great and they fly very badly; the aerodynamics doesn't care much about the outlook and
the money and the jet-wing is for really high speeds as we know, for lot above 200 mph. Thus, I think that
placing an expensive turbine is just of waste of money show for those speeds, isn't it ? [sm=confused.gif]

Pilon racers do quite the same what their fathers did in the control line (non RC) speed races some
30-40 years ago, nothing really new. Only the money bills are lot bigger but the way of flying is quite
the same.[sm=confused.gif]

Then my question is getting more clear: - Is there any RC class, something like Scale Race where the
Speed and Skills are in really good use and for competition, not competing how big money we can
spend in a bit "strange" (did not say stupid) manner ? [sm=wink_smile.gif]

I.e. is there any class like the Red Bull AirRace in the RC World ?

If there is somehing like that, please send WWW-pages and info.
