Trex 450 flies at 35,000 feet and 472mph!!

[jetdryvr]

Since this is the heli section I figured what better place to post my record setting flight. Eat your heart out DS'ers I have photo proof.
The pics of the gps readout and altitude are still to come.
I would like to thank my team, and Lockheed for making the C-5. We fly again tomorrow and I'll see if I can break my own speed/altitude records. Thanks in advance for all of the congratulations!:)

I'de rather see you actually attemp DSing the trex450, if that's even possible? :D

Cool, jetdryver- when I saw the title I expected a long range photo after it was dropped from the ramp :).

What is DSing

[Steph280]

DS = Dynamic soaring.

Congrats on the new record. :)

[jetdryvr]

Thanks guys,
I knew my Trex could do it:)

hehe i want that privilege

i thought about doing it in a boeing with a little 4#3 but the flight assistance and the passengers wouldn't let me :D

[JustinMoore12]

Haha thats awesome, wasnt sure what to expect from this thread

[Fearless Flight]

That's too cool. Congratulations :)

Just to make it more challenging, do it "upstairs" in the cattle hold. Inverted. With that "air conditioning" nozzle on full blast... :cool:

Edit... on second thought... "jetdryvr"... Maybe you should stay closer to the front. :eek:

Put a radar gun on it, I bet it won't read that fast. And I think you just might have disqualified yourself from the DS'ing comparison for going ever so slightly out of the guide lines :rolleyes: ...and your not going in a circle...or are you?

I beleive the new world DS record is 357 mph at 10-15 ft. (If anyone cares)....not bad for a ship with no power.

Pretty cool though.

That's what I'm talking about....Hey! maybe, just maybe when I get a little better with my heli......I used to DS.....I have 3 world record setting hills within 1 1/2 hours from my house......jeez!, yet another level..........that's just crazy talk.......still...........................

Has anyone actually clocked how high our birds can actually fly? (On their own)

[Ni-cyclic1]

i'm a bit unimpressed - the cabin was pressurised ? surely thats the same conditions (speed,pressure level flight etc) as the plane woulda been in at a lower altitude. the only difference is to the plane your in not the heli

They'er fly'n in Denver...that's already about a mile high. They do have a few issues (minor) with the thin air. I'm at around 50 ft...our air is FAT.

Inverted next time!!! :D
