It was nice of you guys to write back. First, let me say my radar gun was calibrated by the same firm that does them for the NC State Troopers and one of their radar units clocked an OAK tree doing 50 in a school zone so I'm not really sure how fast my plane was going. Second, I don't fly on a buddy box since I had a stroke back in 2004 and my right side has a long way to go right now. I still build but since I only use 1 hand right now I go pretty darn slow. My second F-14 will hopefully ready by next fall and maybe I will too. Until then I'll build, I'll watch and I'll continue to read and learn. I have others fly my planes because I love to see my planes fly and I just love to be around R/C planes and people! I have my friend fly my turbine F-14 at 135 - 150 mph since it's a lot easier to photograph at that speed. It's a shame he couldn't get it to stay in the air at 40 - 50 mph. He had (I admit I did too) to see how fast it would go, at least once.
