Nice I can't wait to see it go!!! I think I am going to build another CF funjet for those speeds I just don't know if the prototype is up for it. There's a few things I want to change and clean up on the molds and how I put it together
What happened to the prototype ?
What are you altering ?

I dont believe my FJ pictured will be contending for max speed honors, more of a reliable fast flier.
Whats your best opposite direction pass average on the prototype ??
Only list the setup (motor, batt, prop, ESC) if you wish to.
I still have the prototype and it still flys good with 3000kv and a 2100 3cell not fast
I will be fixing the mold where the rear canopy meets the fuse. The fuse is about a 1/6 to wide and after sanding to make the canopy fit it got really thin and then my buddy Stacy dropped it right on the prop and it cracked all the way down the edge of the tray not a big deal at 100mph but 180+ I don't know and theres a lot of money in esc and batt

I will also be making a jig for gluing the top and bottom half together and making the servo pockets deeper and the ailerons way smaller to cut back the chance of fluter.
The Nemesis fluttered so bad last weekend in a dive in 45mph wind it brook about 2" on both sides of the elevator and I blow up a aileron servo in the Sunracer doing the same thing and toughs control surface are 1/4 the size of the Funjets The air speed indicator reading was 250.5 mph in the dive that brook the elevator but I think I got it fixed to get a good doppler recording

the funjet set up
160 ice
4 cell 5000 45c Hyperion
2850 kv Typoon
6x4 Carbon Fiber prop I made
and the co2 cooling for the motor
I have all of this and if I put it in the prototype I'll make a parachute for the batt and esc encase it blows up in the air LOL
