I just had my 1st flight and plan has been clock at level flighton #17 at 205 MPH and 215PMH in a dive.

I also has 1st flight on #18 and clocked 168 MPH level and 187MPH in a dive with a certified radar gun .

ROFL

if the wonder reach 100 MPH in dive it's already a miracle, man look at that wing profile and try to be serious

Status: offline 		should better check your radar and switch from KmH to MPH

Now if your wonder do 200 MPH, go imediatly race bagostix and his bagowhiplash in the bagowip forum


now if you change everithing, including the wing profile, it's not a wonder anymore. Just buy some wood, you don't need the wonder kit !!!!

Status: offline 		go above in the thread and have a look to my whiplash extreme picture (discontinued ultra light version of the curent whip)
it's powered by a jett 50 BSE with a 9/8 prop turning 20k +
that's a real 200MPH airplane. I have serious doubt about his ability to reach that speed, so please be serious

Yes the radar gun was on MPH.

It is faster than my friends Q40, we raced each other on Sundayand the wonder beet him and he was pissed.

I also have a whiplash with a modified Jett 50 from jett with a ducted Fan piston and sleeve and retimed to do 24k on the ground with a 9X6 and racing Q40 muffler and my wonder was faster. I had my friend fly my Whiplash and I flew the wonder and passed him up everytime.

Sorry, I have nothing to prove. See you on Sunday at Whittier and Narrows to prove my point, what's yours?

Status: offline 		tanks a lot crazyforflight, but since wonders fly 200+ I don't need turbine anymore......
just joking

thanks a lot for the link I will consider it, seems attractive price, but are those turbines reliables enough for a first turbine beginer?

I suggest we continue in PM it's a wonder dedicated thread after all

I am an expert on Wonder's.
I have built now about 18 of them.

If you are planning to modify as I alway do with a 25 to 36 engine, the following is necessary for lasting results.~~~~Hope this helps, pictures will follow.

but maybe rifleman3754 will have an idea on how to mount a P-70 Jetcat on my next wonder, since he is a selfproclaimed expert
