Default Another speed thread

i was wondering has anyone made a model plane break the sound barrier or is it even possible to do it with a model?. Also if you could go faster than the speed of light would u go back in time?



Finally where have all the members gone as there doesnt seem to be as many people online posting and replying to posts as there was a few months ago?

You would need a set of bionic eyes to keep up with it. Not to mention at just over 820 feet per second, how long would it take to fly out of range?

Easy way to keep track of it and make up the speed, go strait up, then come strait down

I don't think it's a good idea... You know, sonic boom can well exceed "under 100 dB" sound limit which most RC planes have...

Then we will hear a sonic boom. (when it hits the ground.)

I believe an R/C plane that breaks the sound barrier would be officially classified by the defense department as a Surface to Air Missile.

Hey, now I know what happened to my Patriot that dissappeard after going into a nose dive a few years ago. Probably ended up under tons of ice that will someday be Central Kansas.

here you go, Mach 1.6

send the 747 back and let the brother have to competition to fly the wingspan of it! sobering thought. just 100 years. well less than that if you go to the first 747

When I was in the navy onboard the Enterprise they turned a full size F14 Tomcat into a RC plane, the pilot was along for the ride. So I guess it has been done, a really expensive rc plane.

i think that would be a step in the correct direction

i saw someone put 8 model rockets on their high wing trainer once, but they had to go to idle cuz it would have overrevd too far, but then 2 of them didn't fire so when he tried to land it went off, then circled, came down, brought it in and the last one fired, straight into the corn behind us. plus he had to rewrap the WHOLE wing[&o]
