"Hi, my name is Brant (captb);, and I am a Speed Plane Addict.
I have been a Lover of Speed Planes for 25 years,
and with the help of the Revvers Brother-hood I hope to
make my planes even FASTER !!!

My fastest plane a Q40 had a wing failure so I have to replace it but I have a few below I'm tinkering with.
Pic#1 My Honda Blackbird is the fastest in my stable for now 179 MPH on GPS
Pic#2 Sonic 500 SF45 abc Piped and a few mods it's ok
Pic#3 Scratch build in progress OS77VRDF for power engine benched at 25k with a 9.5x7 break in prop
Pic#4 Scratch build SX50 Hyper Piped still dialing it in, speed is decent.
No pics just starting to scratch build a P-51 racer 40 size OS65VRDF to power it

(If it's gonna happen it will happen up there)

Hi Kmot..
very nice F-20 with that webra
what rpm did you get out on that Webra Speed 50GT and what prop size do you use.

Easystern: I finally have an answer for you. On the ground test, with Powermaster 15% nitro fuel and a Top Flite 10x6 Power Point prop it turns a little over 16K rpm. 16285, I think was the peak number.

thanks for the info !!!,
its very interesting for me because i do have a weston 50 and its the same base then your webra 50.
my plan is to make the weston even faster and i want to know how far i can go with the max rpm. the weston turns a 8x8 around 21000rpm . i need 23000 on the ground

Word to all those in the Brotherhood keep a sharp eye on what is happening in SoCal this weekend! We really have a gathering of Speed Freaks going on. Enjoy all the pics you will see and fill in the blanks with your own imagination. Try to make one of these.

I was thinking about that whole # thing for you Ken, and how it would've been cool to get you #8 so you could be at one with Little E.
But 163 fit your hand pretty good.
