Flying Fast
 
HELLO JET GUYS! I AM IN THE PROCESS OF BUILDING A STARFIRE JET. I KNOW THIS MODEL WILL FLY OVER 150 MPH AND I WOULD LIKE TO BUILD A PROP MODEL THAT WILL BE CLOSE TO THIS SPEED RANGE TO GET A FEEL FOR THE FASTER MODELS. CAN ANYONE RECOMMEND A PROP PLANE / ENGINE CONFIGURATION THAT WILL FLY VERY FAST. THERE IS ALSO THIS GUY AT THE FLYING FIELD WHO IS CURRENTLY FASTER THE REST OF US AND I WOULD LOVE TO TO KICK HIS ***. THANKS GUYS!

I think your best bet would be to go for the fully composite ARF Whiplash from ACM
http://www.geocities.com/roger_forgues/Whiplash.html

Check it out.

It is now becoming the standad in high speed trainer for jet jockeys

David,
I STRONGLY recommends you the Kangi, which is the F3D from Super Kraft ( www.kangkeeusa.com), the cost is very low, just US$158.00.
I builded one, is all fiber composite.
I putted a OS. 46.VRF Ducted Fan ( purple head). It turns a 7.4 x 8.5 carbon fiber APC at 25K RPM!
The kit call for a .30, so some modifications have to be made, basically removing the actual fire wall and installing a new an stronger one. I cutted the fuselage a couple of inches to not affect the CG.
The plane flies at almost 200MPH. It beated a Hot Spot with a Ram 500.
The wing need reinforcement only at the tips, because is laminated.
Regards,
Miguel.
