If you can get it on vid and post it we should be able to do a unbiased reading.

However I think both CL and RC have advantages over each other and could be
acceptable. CL you can go very light and streamlined but required to drag lines,
RC you can build up speed through the pass in lieu of the extra weight and bulk.

Could do a 75 ft. gate filmed 65 ft. back, fastest through the gate wins.
Two 1/4in x 36in wooden dowels with red 6x8 flags waving off the top should work.
Run a tank out filming passes and pick your best one, post on YouTube.
66 ft. per second is 45 mph.


I'm going to buy one of these cheap as $55 bucks set up 50 ft in front of the operator
just do a pass in front of yourself while filming you will capture the speed on vid.
Large readable screen holds memory for the best top speeds. The stand is already
at an angle should capture from 5ft to 15ft f high passes. The radar field is wide enough
and faces from the front of the device. Accurate within .3 mph. Can prop it up or tilt
it back til your in the fly by zone.
