Status: offline 		I find that IMPOSSIBLE to believe, not just hard. The reason is due to teh fact i have had 2 Wonders with )S32's and they got 100 on a good day. There is NO WAY a pipe will add 50+ MPH. I am not trying to dog anyone or call anyone a lier, but for my 25FSR and 2, OS32 wonders, all I did was fully sheet the wing and add front wing bolts. my 25FSR with a mac pipe went 88, and liek i said i could hit 100-101 with tthe 32's, but noway coulda pipe add 50+.

Status: offline 		Guys, no need to get all bent out of shape here. Every so often a plane/pilot comes aboard with amazing claims of speed. Whether or not they are correct, the pilot has sufficient reason to believe they are. I would not personally put much credence in the readings of a radar gun, but many do. So I say let them have their claim to fame..it's not hurting anybody if they claim an excessive speed unless you are bent upon setting a speed record. What difference does it make if the guy claims his Shrike will do 200?? Not a bit.

Status: offline 		nice one

from what i can see you didn' shortened the nose section as i suggested. That's why u can't balance without a big servo in the back

36 oz is a very decent weight, nice work, be sure to have some extra elevator throw ready to flare it, keep up post about the maiden flight !

Status: offline 		SALMOMBUG, The picture must be deciving... I did shorten the nose by 1/2 inch. not exactly sure what i did up front that added weight.... oh well the 425 is kinda comforting anyway, no way in hell is that little ele gona strip it out!!!!! my throws should be ok, 3/8 on ele 3/8 on ele to start.

Off to the field, I'm leaving with 3 complete palnes..... lets hope they stay that way!!

Status: offline 		I just come back from the field. I flown my .25 wonder, you will have fun !!!
by looking to my .25 wonder and a stock .15 I have here near me, I can see that in fact you shortened the nose, sorry for my bad interpretation of what I saw

here is a pic of a long nose kissing a short nose

trY to understand something altough the .25 as 1/2 inche shorter nose than the stock .15la
the nose look longer

Status: offline 		I get a kick out of speed claims.,, By my calculator, an 8 pitch prop turning 20000 rpm , with absolutely no slippage, an impossibility, adds up to 151 mph. At least if a statue mile is still 5280 feet. 151 aint 200. I'd say 125 tops is more like it.

Status: offline 		well........ IT FLEW!!!!!!
dam thing does warp 9! how's that for a speed claim It flew fairly well... I think I need a bit more down thrust though. as for speed I'm guessing it's doing around 90 or so, sure as hell looks faster!!! this little bugger is a bit squirly at full throttle.I trimed it at half throttle, when I open it up it really wants to climb and it seems as though I'm fighting up thrust with the ele. other than the thrust issue it rolls well and flys fairly doscile at half throttle or so. landing was uneventful other than the fact I'm landing on dirt.... after 3 landings the bottom skid's are loose( I used Large screw mount wingtip skids), a grass field would be better for the plane. I'm gona give it 2 degrees more down fix up the skids and try it again next weekend.

BTW I came back with all 3 planes, there were however 3 at the field that didn't. one was fixable the other 2 went in full bore...... airframes were wasted and one guy's motor looked to be toast, bent crank for sure. I hate to see crashes.... I'm just glad it was not ME.
