Default RE: Boomerang TORUS build thread

Got some radar readings today using my Jet Central Super Eagle turned up to its full thrust of 30 LBS

Using a Stalker Sport radar gun and not diving at the gun, with about an 4-5 MPH headwind got readings of 164mph, 165mph, qnd 168mph.

One run with the wind netted 175 mph.

This was with the tip tanks installed.

My PST Reaction by comparison was flying in the mid 180's with the same motor. So a little bit of a loss but not too bad for a larger airplane.

More later.
Take care and happy New Year!
