Default How fast can EDF jet can go? Check the video

Another day playing with EDF jets. This is my proto type EDF F-16 I been playing with power setting. The speed and power is amazing. EDF power is coming a long way.
Here is the today flight video. Dave in on the stick and I on the camera.

Tam, looks very good, although i know you are experimenting can you detail the set-up flown?

Unfortunately I do not fly turbine, just build them! but I guess one of the advantages of EDF is the 'lack' of spooling time, and one disadvantage is the sound - flies very nice.

Marc.

The set up was DS-94, NeuMotor 1521 2Y on 13s EVO 4900mAh and producing shaft power 4.6kw.
What speed you guys thinks this F-16 is doing?

You was right. It go faster on the 5th lap.
Actually the first 2 lap batteries still cold. Once it warm up to 120 degree F. It really go.
After landing the batteries temp goes up no more than 135 degree F after 5 min on the tarmac.
