[Blueberry954]

Great video and plane, thanks for sharing. Just one question though, what motor and battery were you using? I want to be hitting these speeds.

[TinkerManRC]

@Blueberry954 I was using the 1100 kv on a 4 cell.. and I think it was around 120MPH the spike in the GPS may have been a fault but in any case she moves well.. thanks for commenting..Tim

[earthling1984]

nice, I am finishing the build of this plane with the 'high power' 25 setup. Can't wait to fly fast! Need the snow to melt!

[TinkerManRC]

@earthling1984 Thats fantatic your going to really like it she will be fast,, I know the snow needs to go away..LOL keep me posted on how it is going..Tim

[bastian74]

[TinkerManRC]

@bastian74 The 1100KV 35- 48 Turnigy Motor, 60 amp ESC, 10X9 Prop. 4 cell 2650 40c This combo works well will be trying more..Thanks for commenting.

Man that is sweet, no where near 140mph but great flying nonetheless

[TinkerManRC]

@nighthawk0077 Thanks for commenting

[tstalion79]

@nighthawk0077 I'd say 75 mph, but yea great flying.

[TinkerManRC]

@tstalion79 Check out the second vid I posted I got 114 still a great fast airplane ..Thaks for commenting..Tim

[bababoboRc]

140 Mph hahahaha 140 kmh if you lucky lets see the next vid lol

[TinkerManRC]

@bababoboRc There is another video of the plane with a on board garmin got 114MPH but anyway thanks for commenting.. Tim

[nwjt]

Is it harder to land than the e-flite sabre?

[TinkerManRC]

@nwjt Not really just have to keep up the speed a little but see flys sweet and lands well..Thanks for commenting .Tim

[400chevlc]

Can someone please tell me where in that vid it does 140mph? It doesn't look like it approaches any where near that speed. 100mph i can believe but 140 mph? How do you explain a 40mph jump in speed? There must have been an anomaly in the data. Watch this vid to see what 140mph looks like.

2000 watt 140mph Parkzone Stryker

The Pogo was nowhere near that.

[TinkerManRC]

@400chevlc Great question

I can explain for the jump, I did not let it run out until one point in the video when you hear a slight whistle sound that’s where it got to 140. It is hard to tell because there is no reference point to judge the speed I was way out there. I know it seems hard to believe and that’s fine but I will run another video again with the speed so thanks for the comment and watch for the second video.

[XtremeWingRC]

Awesome man. Great vid. Im doing the E-flite 4S setup. I noticed you stated that you are using a 9 x 9 prop. I bought the recommended 8 x 8 prop. Wonder how the two compare in thrust and speed. Hey what size 4S batts you running? 2500mah? 3000's?

[TinkerManRC]

@XtremeWingRC Not sure but yours should go good can't wait to see it..

[RCRedBaron]

Greased Lightning Baby!!!!! Now you are Hauling Assssssssssss! Thing is blistering fast looking at the data logger. How does she handle? Smooth like the sundowner? Great job, and your camera person is simply Awesome!!! (WINK).

[wildhover]

@RCRedBaron i agree with the camera person being awesome!

[TinkerManRC]

[foot8sativa]

hi, what size prop you using, how many amps is it drawing? thanks

[TinkerManRC]

@foot8sativa using a 10 10 apc pulls about 58 amps

[mattyfly4fun]

That is amazing for a prop model plane. If you scale that up it's like mach 1 or v near for full size....

[TinkerManRC]

@mattyfly4fun LOL I know I need to really let it run out longer.
