Dimond dust.
After 3 years of laying back and working 60 hours week i finally decieded to build a Diamond dust, It has been a while since I have flown any thing this fast, So I'm running a Webra Hiper 40 with stock exhaust till I get used to it. then going to tune it up a bit. Turning a APC 9-7.5 at 15 200 so should make some speed wheighs in at 3,25 lbs. Here is a few pics.

Looks good, you will not be disapointed I have a clipped and a regular they are a blast to fly. The bright colors will be good I always cover mine in flourescent colors on the top and black or checkers on the bottom.

RE: Dimond dust.
Well I'm taking the dust out for maiden flight this weekend. The Webr speed 40 with the tuned pipe turning 18500 with 9-7.5. Covered tank,and servo bay shouldn't have much drag except the side exhaust.
Should out run my Tusnamie,with Webra .36

Are you really turning those RPMs with a Weber?? My West 50 turns a 9x7 17400 RPMs

RE: Dimond dust.
West 50 with a 9-7 prop will run better if you set the tuned pipe shorter. 17400 rpm is the rpm a Webra 36 will run with a tuned pipe and a 9-7. The Webra speed 40 will really come alive with a tuned pipe. You are not tuning your West 50 to its full potential.
