I'm kind of curious if anyone (amatuer) has ever built a supersonic RCplane and if there is an RCspeed record?

Anyone know?

Kevin

The AMA restricts us to a 200mph speed limit.</p>

But even if it didn't, you couldn't fly an RC plane at supersonic speed. It would take so much room to turn that you would be out of radio range before you could complete a turn</p>

Frank Tiano tried to do this at Florida Jets!!!!!!!   </p>

Captain Salami attempts to break the RCU Sound Barrier</p>

Sorry but I just couldnt helpgiggle at the idea (i mean no offence) but you're really reaching forthe Stars with that one there arent ya?Off course in a few years who knows i may be eating my words. I mean who knows where the technology will go right? However if ever there were to be one... it wouldnt be in the hands of civilians any time soon thats for sure and it certainly wont be in the triditional way we control them. You'd need on board cams and that plane would have to be massivecompared to traditionalmodelsplus all of what MinnFlyer said and I think thats not even the tip of the ice burg yet

And yes, this is a joke!!!! </p>

This forum talked about this subject about 2 months ago http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_84...tm.htm#8464206</p>

LOL

Actually, I'm kind of new to RC and was just curious, however...

A.  No offense to the AMA, but if I were trying this, I wouldn't be too concerned about what they thought.  If you've ever been to a model rocket show, it's always a case of higher, farther, and faster.  If you're not out there trying something new and expanding your knowledge, then why are you doing it?  I'm fairly certain there must be transmitters out there that would reach more than what you can buy at Hobbytown will.

B.  I have got to attend Frank's shows more often.  I LIVE in Lakeland for gosh sakes...

C.  I didn't know this forum existed two months ago.

fcc rules the output watts which limits the range typically a mile . how many seconds at supersonic speed does it take to cover a mile probaly less than 9

When you "expand your knowledge" and accomplish this, be sure to post the video.

At sea level, 1100 feet/second - less than five seconds to travel a mile. Less, at supersonic speed...

thats what happens when you try to round  700 mph to mpsecond in your head using the 60 mph as reference

Well I'll make you a deal. When you can analyze a star using spectography just by looking at the color band, let me know. Astronomy is another hobby of mine...Then I'll let you teach me the world of RC, at which I am new, hence posting in the 'BEGINNERS' forum.

Get the message there, sport?

I feel your frustration. Ask a simple question, and what do you get? I've been a member of this forum for quite some time, but I rarley post.
The reason being that unless you belong to a certain clique whose posts number in the thousands you"re treated like you just were.

You post that you couldn’t care less about the sanctioning body of modeling in the United States, yet feel that you are entitled to more respect because of your display of ignorance and arrogance. </p>

Yeah, right.</p>

What is with you people?  Where did I say I could care less about the AMA?  I did say that they wouldn't be my top priority.  I simply asked a question and all of the sudden you guys coming up with these smart ass answers.  If you have nothing to contribute to the conversation, do me a favor and don't bother to reply...

What do you know....  RC snobs...

Ok, this thread has really gotten out of hand in a hurry, and is going nowhere fast. I've had to go in andclean up some comments that were bordering on getting way out of hand. I'm closing the thread.
