I agree with Chuckauger. For most go fast types, a DD or Whiplash will provide plenty of cheap speed thrills. For the ultimate cheap, go with a DD. I have had several of the Diamond Dusts, and they are a very good plane for the money. After having the experience of playing with Daryl's Whiplash, I think it is better for maximum speed. It is much sturdier and stiffer for going 200 plus, and you can't blow the covering off one of them. The new Whiplash Extreme should be the ticket for those who want to go fast and not spend time building from scratch.

When you want ultimate speed, you are going to have to scratch build.

I hope to see some of you guys down here in the sunny south this spring for the Mississippi Speed Event.

Happy New Year to all.
