I had an Ultra Flash with a k100 and was a great combo because it was light and still fast once on step but much cleaner airframe. So does the Joker need the 100 to overcome the drag?


In my opinion a 100 would be plenty, then again the previous post says 210 mph on a K120 so pick your poison I guess. My max has been 190 mph, with a M100xbl, I usually fly with max speeds about 170 or so.

Yes, photo on their website shows a bypass, but none is included. I've toyed with the idea of making ducts but that would also require a custom fuel tank(s) and just seemed like too much effort for another 20 mph or so.

I don't have a very fancy scheme, a few vendor decals, you can see in this video:
