After watching headlessagain`s Funbat videos I could not resist building one. It has 60 cm wingspan, Turnigy 2211/2300, 3s 800mah lipo and weighs 235g. A delight to fly.

Here is the second flight of my brother`s Funjet with extreme 6s setup. Some esc problems at the beginning. Had to relax a bit after the flight and I think I need stronger glasses.

First Racing session 2013 was short. You hear some depron breaking at the end of the video. The Bugatti survived, the Bearcat did not.

I hate the thought that rc planes are killing people. And I hate the thought that drones are going to spy our life. This is a bad development.

This is my latest build, a Bugatti 100. The original was intended to break the speed record in the 30`s but was never flown because of the war.
Model is 60cm span, Kfm 4 airfoil, 207 g, Turnigy 2211/2300 with Graupner 4,7x4,7 prop and 800 mah 3s lipo.
Maiden flight in heavy winds went surprisingly well. Looks great in the air.

My brother designed and built this small speed model for a Cox Teedee in the 80`s.
It did not fly for more than 20 years. I put a Turnigy 2211/2300 with a Graupner cam speed 4,75x4,75 prop at the front and a 3s 800 mah lipo inside.

My brother built a funjet with an extreme 6s setup, following the advice on www.dauch.fr
We maidened it yesterday and hit 400 kph. There was about 30kph wind, so the plane went around 370.
Sorry for the bad quality video, the camcorder setup was wrong, but listen to the sound!
