I posted in another thead that we should start a "speed" thread.
To do this a pilot would post:

- Model
- EDF Unit
- Motor
- Batteries
- ESC
- Speed
- How you measured the Speed (with link to Video)

- Other supporting information (wind conditions, temp, and other information about your plane)

This thread is for those that want to show off their planes, and for those that want to look at setups they can use


(My next post will be about my Spark)

- Plane: Composite ARF Spark
- EDF: TJ100
- Motor: 1515 1.5Y
- Battery: 8S 3700mah
- CC HV110
- Speed 136.5 mph
- Doppler (see attached picture)

This was taken from a level speed run. I had taken the plane up run a lap and then did the run. There was no wind, see picture of the flag at our field. Here is a link to the video:

This is a great plane.

Sled,
Looks great! How is the gear holding up?
Is there a reason you did not use the supplied battery tray?
Bob

- Plane: Vector II
- EDF: DS 51-3ph
- Motor: Nue 1515 1.5Y
- Battery: 10S 4000mah
- ESC: CC HV110
- Speed 187mph up wind 192mph in a shallow dive
- Measurment: Doppler

She still has potential to go faster

Hey Bob. The battery tray did not let me move the batteries forward enough to get the correct CG, and it was easier to just use the velcro. The main landing gear legs that came with the SpringAir 301s bent after each landing.
I got a set from Tam (4mm, 2 spring), and they work better.

I got 3 flights with the Spark and 3 with my new 1:8 scale F-16 Thunder Bird.
No video today because I'm flying.
