200 MPH my @$$. I'll bet you $50 it will come no where near 200mph. Drag force on it would be too great, plus the prop pitch would not generate any thrust at that speed. There is no way. Anyone who thinks it can go 200mph (airspeed) should pick up a physics book, read it, and report back.

Ya just haves to grease the wings man.

Physical book don't apply to illiterates, unless ther's some pictures

if the guy took the time to take the pic, and post it on the internet . . . then why would he lie?? I THINK IT CAN GO AS FAST AS HE SAYS!! I reject your logic, and substitute my own!!

Apparently you haven't heard: as of April 1st there is no more drag force on vehicles moving through the air. So any plane can reach its propeller's maximum pitch speed, given enough time. This is making headlines because all of the R&D engineers for hypersonic transport are being laid off.

oh, dame... it's true. If it is on the internets, then it must be true. I forgot!

Hmm... might want to watch the video at least 12 inches away from your screen. It would help.

Fly it into the blades of a Raptor 90, and I bet for a split second it will go 200 MPH

No don't do that !! lmao

I will pull out of a hover at 1/4 throttle, and the control throws are perfect. Amazingly, even with all this performance, I am still comfortable with flying it indoors. I think I might be the first entry....I only hope I'm not "showing my cards" too early
200mph?? Bwah hahahahahahaha .... you're smoking too much wacky tobbacie!
Try maybe 50mph.
