Today I took off the stock prop and put on the 2.6x3

In the hand just prior to launch 24,142 rpm
Best Pass in a cross wind level 35,206 rpm / 100.02 mph
Average Pass 33,500 rpm / 95.17 mph
Many passes at 34,700 + / 98.58 mph
Average pass into the wind 29,500 mph / 84 mph

Flight speeds where silky smooth without the mind boggling screaming at 41k plus.
It happens so fast in a blink then the plane is on the far back side of my field.
The plane ate up real estate fast but was quite manageable.

The passes in front of the cam are smoking fast at 30 frames per second I don't get many frames!
It happens soo fast in a blink then the plane is on the far end of my field from one end to the other wham wham!
NAMO WHAMO Time fo shizzle..

Will post vid later tonight going out for dinner with family.
