Actually, the speed is still available if you want it. Put a 1.20 or 1.40 stroke on any of the "non-widebody" planes with a 13 or 14 pitch prop and you've got the potential for a missle. The thing about the new pattern planes, is they fly very well fast or slow. I built a Carl Goldberg Finesse with a TT 1.20 on a pipe. It's a great plane with a very wide speed envelope. It's slightly smaler than a 2M.
