Looks like a winner. It will probably only fly about 200 mph. ( at half throttle). I have to see this one fly, the last one you had was scary fast.

Looks like you have WAY too much time and MONEY on your hands!
How much do you have invested in the power plant (Motor, ESC and Batteries)?
Great looking plane!

Thanks MyWay and Gunfighter,
It will be using the same wing (only stronger) and twice the power so I think you are right about it should go fast. Lets see.....about the cost of this sucker......yea.....
Well, currently this is really my only hobby, except for the Trex Heli I just got for X-mas so I don't feel too bad about the expense. I have not purchased batteries or the speed control yet.
The motor was purchased a while back and I think it was in the upper $400's.
As long as this sucker doesn't crash I will be mentally stable with the expense.
Hey,....have any of you fast QM-40 guys tried the DX-7 Spectrum yet?
I am thinking about putting it in this plane.
Thanks, Erik
