RE: What RTF or ARFs roll fastest?
You may still be able to find a Goldberg Hot Stik. On high rates and full throw it rolls too fast to count. Like four to the second!
HUGE ailerons and four servos/panels. I've got a Thunder Tiger Pro-46 with a Perry carb on mine and with an 11x4 APC prop it turns at 14,700 rpm and will shoot straight up out of a torque roll no problem. I can take off at 1/4 throttle.
Since these images I've given the engine a 90ยบ turn so the muffler hangs below the fuselage. Looks better IMHO.
Second image was taken during a roll. You can see 1/2" deflection or so and there's another 2" available! I usually fly 80% lower rates with 60% exponential!
