Default RE: Bob Cat Copy Falcon 120 Jet

I have the mine outfitted with an electric ducted fan setup. One flight so far (ripped the mains out on landing, mostly pilot error partly lack of signinficant quality glue on the mounts) with less than impressive speed. We "guesstimated" it at approx. 70mph in level flight. It has a Schubeler DS94 120mm all carbon fiber ducted fan unit powered by a Neumotors 1527/1.5Y/S brushless motor. The ESC is the Phoenix HV-110 and I'm using 3x 4S/5000mah 25C Thunder Power batteries. It's AUW is 15lbs 7oz. In an effort to get more speed out of it I'm going to up the motor timing at the ESC to the highest safe level. I also have a Keecat w/ a OS 91 on the back and right now I don't think the Falcon is any faster. I'll let ya all know how the timing mods go but right now it looks like I should have spent the $1700 that the electric setup cost on a JJ1400 like I have in my Reaction 54.
