For some reason the video is cut in half for me, only the first few seconds plays for me. Not sure why. Probably end user error!

Rudeboy,

I have a mvvs .40 w/ pipe on 15% nitro. 8 x 8 prop. turning in the 20,000 + range. It's a lot of fun to fly and believe it or not it handles extremely well.

My friend and I recently built some DD's. We ended up with a great ecomic power plant match. We put on some TT .36's and are using the stinger pipe DD sells. We are turning APC 8x9 props in the mid 16k range on the ground. Probably unloads in air at about 17k. Plenty fast for us. Guessing around 120-125mph. Will have to take a video of it soon.

Hi Dan,

That's the best Diamond Dust video I have seen yet!

Is that MVVS .40 the Sport Version or the Quickie 500 version?

I have a Clipped Wing Dust with a MVVS .40 (not quickie 500) that turns 16,000 and runs 120 MPH, but looks nowhere near as fast as yours.


How was it able to turn 20,000+ RPM? Did you tweak it?

Thanks

Mike
