a small question:
in USA you can only fly up to 200 mph, and as i understand this is an "AMA regulation"..
but if i go in the middle of the nevada desert,(for example) where there is "pratically nobody", can i fly faster than 200 mph??
or is overall limited to 200 mph??
thanks
Lots of myth here. As you can see, there are some people who just hate the AMA and everything they do.
200mph if you want AMA sanctioning. Which is all about $2million worth of insurance for $58 a year. That's all. You want that insurance? You have to stay below 200.
You want to go as fast as you want? Go out to the desert. Or any other open space you own or have permission to fly on. You can fly 300mph while drinking homemade moonshine and firing off an assault rifle. Nobody cares as long as you are not bothering somebody else.
There is NO law saying how fast a model jet is allowed to go.
That bungee-launched jet is called a Trance, it is kitted out of Germany. Many have said it does 300 pretty easily. Never seen it firsthand, myself.
