3. Scatcat, Jett-50, 9x9 (Still missing-) [X(]

My fastest plane was probably the plane I use as my Avatar. Lyle Larson Vendetta with a Nelson .40 turning 23,500 rpm. About 185 mph in the straight and level.

This was one of my faster Q500 planes. Not as fast as the Q40, but could still haul in the mid 160's. This was shot in Phoenix this sprint, I'm the green plane in the lead.

RE: extream speed planes!!!
That is probably one of the best in flight shots I have seen at a race. Consider all 3 planes are going in the Mid 160's.
The two other planes in the shot are both top 10 National racers, so it was fun being in the lead for a while (Although I ended up third in the heat).
I'm still not positive who took the picture, but it was forwarded to me from Stan Douglas.
