Anyone gone 300 lately?
Hey Jetheads,
FYI: This month's "Air & Space" magazine has a feature story on micro turbine-powered jets. They boast that some model jets can break the 300 mph barrier. Are they right? Has anyone on this forum done so and if yes, with which model? I've asked this in the past and a fellah replied, "does it count if just the parts of my model go past three-hundred"?
funny.

[tongue-in-cheek]
Of course not ... according to the doctrine preached here, none of our jets is capable of going faster than TWO hundred, never mind THREE.
Of course, as soon as you transplant the same model from the USA to somewhere else, it instantly becomes capable of going much faster (maybe it's the thick air in the US that does it?), so if you want to know about any models that do 200.01 mph or more, you need to look to the more advanced nations.

Seriously - yes, people have flown their models above 300 mph in the US. They just won't speak about it much given the current rules.
