How Fast is it?
Has anyone checked the speed of a Kangaroo with an 18 lb. engine on it with radar?
Curious about an actual recorded speed.
I'm guessing about 180 mph level flight, no dive beforehand.

How Fast is it?
Pete,
I am flying with a Simjet 2300 and bouncing off the limiter (set at 200mph) all day long. I have a buddy with the 1700 and his limiter was set to 185 and he was bouncing off it too. I would imagine it is capable of 200 easy. BTW, I have my 2300 dialed down to 20#. Unlimited vertical at 125-140 mph...

with 8.5kg thrust our hot Spot was measured with 320km/h (by GPS, Garmin emap).
the same turbine in the bandit, and the speed was 420km/h.
it shows that the aerodynamics is the limiting factor. you can put an AMT Olympus on a Roo or a Hotty and they never will be really fast. unlimited vertical however.

What a fun combination to fly, I could do it all day and never get tired of it.
