I just checked the crack in my crystal ball and it revealed that my calendar is open for the 2013 Speedy Thing! Will there be a 2013 Speedy Thing? All I have flying at the moment is my pulse detonation Super Cobra. I'm all in Vicman![>:] You can stop flinging the poo!

Thanks vicman.

I have a question. Where can I find fixed pitch props for speed in the range of 8,5'' to 10'' in diameter and pitches over 12,5'' ?

No folding props. Not my thing.


If this guy doesn;t make them he might know who does, as he is active with the electric speed crowd in Europe.

Status: offline 		I took a 55 mph Airfield P51 and modified it to fly 130 mph+. Still adding more speed.

Current setups being used are:
P51 Top Speed so far - 132.4 MPH
- Motor - Scorpion 4025 - 740
- Battery - 4000 5S and 4000 3S run in Serial for an 8S setup
- ESC - Castle ICE 100
- Prop - APC 11 x 10
- Flying time 4 .5 minutes

Eventually I plan on adding a Castle HV 150 or 200 amp to the Mustang to make a run on 10S. Prior to performing this test I will be cutting all the control surfaces off and reattaching with fiber tabs. Other airfrane modifications performed are:
  • Single Wing Modification with additional Carbon rods added
  • Battery compartments and additional battery trays added
  • Control horn upgrades
  • Fiberglass added where wings join in center
  • Paint and light 20 minute epoxy coat
  • Stock motor mounts redrilled to accomidate new motors
  • Firewalls rebuilt to withstand additional torque
  • All servos replaced with Steel gear servosLatest Flight videos:P51 132.8 mph Flight

    Status: offline     		Hello RCMaister

    that is a nice fast ARF your Hangar 9 P40B , what engine / esc and prop is your set up.

    in the vid you mention its a Scorpion Helicopter motor ,what type and kv.

    The plane screams real nice in the vid what i like and on 10 cells it would be a killer.

    i am looking for a fast kombo for my hangar 9 sundowner 50 .

    sorry that this nice plane is now RIP, hope you did save the rc and engine.

    i use always an aditional receiver batterie and no bec at more than 100 amps,had a total los the same way with a 160mph delta.
    i dont trust the electronics made in ???

    thanks
    michael

    Status: offline     		Hey man. Thanks. Definately learned my lesson on the seperate power solution for the receiver. I'm, currently building a 2nd one and I'm trying it again. The power solution is a Scorpion HK 4025-740 running on 8 cells with a MAS 11 x 10 prop. I'm losing some efficiency with the solution but I'm running this solution on a foam P51 and this plane and it's a solid combo. I usually combine either a 5S and a 3S or 2 x 4 cells in serial for the battieries. I'm running a Turnigy Opto HV 120 for the ESC. It has a builtin spark arrester and seems to perform well. I'm also in the process of replacing all of my connectors with Anderson Power Poles.

    Status: offline     		Hello RCMaister ,

    Thanks for the info on your setup, it will help me alot for the next elektric project, but i want go with a better wing airfoil modell like my sundowner or another formula one model.

    i think this setup with a 200 amp controler on 10s will be good for close to 200mph with a sleek airfoil arf..... till it explode in the air .

    but thats the goal go fast with an arf and bring it save home.

    i found that Scorpion has also the HK-4025 890 with 890 rpm per volt , that is around 32000 rpm on 10s with the right prop it should be 22000 to 24000 static rpm.

    here is a pic of my sundowner he is good for 160mph with the 50 west eurotec magnum engine an a reno racing setup muffler .

    Michael

    That motor combo and your Sundowner will be a monster. I'm only pulling around 100 to 105 amps. You need an HV esc so take a look at the Turnigy Opto. It's a great HV solution for the money. 120 should be plenty. I think on 10S, you might have to go 10 x 10.

    vaccum bagged carbon skinned wing and stabs
    Neu 1105/1.5y inrunner, CC35 esc, 45c 3s 1300mah lipoly APC 4.1x4.1 speed 400 prop
    spektrum digital servo's.

    Not sure on the exact speed, but i'm pretty sure its right around 135-145 in level flight.. probably 150-160 out of a small dive. It looks a heck of allot faster though since its only 30" wingspan. the fuse has since been repainted all silver with a Flour. green tail. 2 1/2 minute flight times make for some short fun flights.. I'm currently working on obtaining all the components for a 260mph F5D racer.

    Thanks, its pretty quick. And considering the wing is just under 1/2" thick and the fuse is about 1 1/2" in diameter, it disappears pretty dang fast.

    If you need to make an emergency trip to be with other speed freaks I think June 22 would be a good day for one. I'm about 4.5 hrs south of you.
