Default RE: Speed Freaks Wanted- Over 150 Members already !

Hi, my name is Seth, and I am a Speed Plane enthusiast (addicts go to meetings). I have been a Lover of Speed Planes for several years, and with the help of the Revvers Brother-hood I hope to make my planes even FASTER !!! My wife even purchased my next speed plane (Matney Models QM-15 Rivets - [link=http://www.matneymodels.com/qm.html]http://www.matneymodels.com/qm.html[/link]).

Seth 1-2-08



My first real speed plane was the power squirrel. It is a clipped wing q-500 (lanier Predator), I cut 11 inches off each wing tip. It is a bunch of fun. Electric-delta & vicman saw its maiden flight. I posted a thread on it a while back ([link=http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_5016043/anchors_5016043/mpage_1/key_clipped%252Cwing%252Cq%252D500/anchor/tm.htm#5016043]clipped wing Q-500[/link]). I also have a Weston Magnum that is fairly quick. This year, really 2007, I started racing club-40 and 424 . . . three pole racing is VERY cool.

Thank you for considering my application to the brotherhood.

He has been getting help from a revver for some time now LOL
Seth has also been racing Texans for a few years. His Magnum and the Power Squirrel above are the only things around that hang with my Predator/Jett 50 combo.

Welcome to the Brotherhood Seth[sm=thumbup.gif][sm=wink_smile.gif]

Thanks for letting me in the brotherhood. 209 is easy to remember, it is the speed of my power squirrel . . . in kilometers per hour . . . ha, ha. - Seth

Hey all,

I'm not exactly sure if this thread is only for gas & glow powered planes, or if electric speed freaks are also welcome to brag?

Personally I'm one of the growing number of 100% Electric Speed Freaks lurking around...

Best radar runs was over 130 mph with a modified and thinned + glassed Stryker powered by a Medusa 028-056-2800 with 5.5"x5.5" on a 5s Thunder Power Extreme through a CC80.
I'm sure there are even faster around.

Next to be built is a design of my own inspired from the old Saab J35.

Happy New Year

Stryker_Viking

Why wouldn't a lekky be allowed? You guys turn some sick speed for sure! The guys in SoCal (airbike) were faster than any of the Revvers when I was out there. I seem to remember a little green plane doing like 2 bills, even the turbines out there were watching.

....I would say that fast lekky's certainly are included in "Extreme Speed Prop Planes".

Why not....?

Are the stickers going to be available to all of us? They are really cool and I have a couple of planes that I would like them on.
How about a nice black or brown leather jacket with With Your number and Revvers brotherhood embroidered on the back!!!????? I would be proud to wear that to the club or different clubs that I like to got to. Pretty cool, huh?

My Screamin' Demon is finished. Not good weather for flying of any kind up here in N/W Ohio right now unless you have skis and a warm barn to get engines started. Here are some pictures. Details and more pics are in the "Something Fast" Delta build thread here on RCU.

Let er ripp! Revver Bro #182 " Speedy Gonzales"

Cowl does not come with kit. It is of my own creation. Here is his "sick" web address. mikesrc.us He would like to hear from you all. "You all" thats Ohio hillbilly slang. Let me know if there is anything else I can talk at ya. This is getting to be fun. Speedy
