Revolver a speed plane?
 
FYI yesterday I clocked my TT pro 61 powered revolver at 100MPH straight and level 118MPH in a dive with a direct crosswind. Anyone else gettin good speed with them?
PS APC 11x7

it is fast for a sport plane. slippery airframe. better than the sd 50.

my Revolver is powered by an OS 55 AX , JETT Muffler , 10 x 10 prop. 122 mph.

My rev has a jet 90 Lx 11x8=147MPH with onboard gps straight and level.
I flew in a 35 mph wind the other day, it is not relaxing, but this plane whoops it up, and can still be put down safely, that wind makes the downwind leg faaaast !
I have read on 'the' revolver forum on here, of a 12 cell elec revolver doing late 150's, personally I do not doubt this claim for a second.

very nice, you don't need to go any faster then that for a thrilling sport plane. How worried are you about folding the wing?

good video. See how fast you have to land a rev thats several pounds over weight !

wonder how long that landing is going to hold up. mine just cracked, AGAIN, after only 20 flights. otherwise as the video shows (152mph), its a well made plane.
