Only around 90?...best I've got with my Bobcat and OS55 with stock pipe is 115.5..... Here's a recorded speed of 109.4

Here is video of it flying.
For 99 bucks it's a great home for that 55AX. (Of course,..retracts bring the cost up considerably)

Some of the .46 size warbirds are worth looking at too.

Status: offline 		I think I got the LAST ssundowner 50 out there. Got it from hobbyzone I think. Horizon was already out. After I bought mine it was out of stock at hobby zone. The seem to stay out of stock for a while too. But it would have been a good home for it.
