Wow, really?
EDF is all about statistics, efficiency and performance. As for the top speed like I said I was wondering not as if it's the end all be all deal breaker on this project or whatever. It's a great modeling achievement regardless but there are interesting metrics associated that inspire and guide others. I've worked in all aspects of power systems from design to testing on land sea and air models so this info is of particular interest to me and a basis of comparison.
Now, before you jump on a guy for asking a "simple" question or better yet wonder what something could be why don't you just sit back and watch the conversation unfold.
Ill add that if your flying high power RC anything and you don't know the numbers your set up produces then it's just a matter of time before you have an accident. These systems are no joke and have all the potential to cause a lot of damage.

Would you mind sharing control throws, cg, flap setting? I'm getting closer to maiden on mine. No bells and whistles on mine. Single k180. Should be under 38lbs.
yours looked and sounded awesome. Congrats!
