Default Re: Patriot- how fast with a 46 and retracts?

Originally posted by ddennison
HI,

I am building a patriot and want it to go fast enough to qualify for turbines (about 150 mph).

How fast will it go with an os 46fx and retracts? with Pipe? With a OS 61 fx?

Thanks!
Dave
With the 46fx and tuned pipe expect around 110 - 120 MPH I am using a Jett .50 in it and hoping to get to 130 - 140 MPH. I am not sure if you want to put a 61FX in it. it probably will not fit without lots of mods and maybe make it too heavy. Also when using retracts you are limited to 8oz tank. that is like 4 min flight using the 61FX.
