Reactor Bipe Maiden Flight and Crash Aftermath of Diablo Jet!

[simhere2]

From the audio in your YouTube video, I ran a spectrogram program to measure the coming and going frequencies from your high speed passes. Then I ran the numbers through a spreadsheet which calcultates the speed based on the doppler effect. YOUR PLANE WAS DOING 82 MPH! I also have the exact same Reactor Bipe setup and performed the same thing on my plane based on an audio recording I took during a full-throttle high speed pass. My plane also did 82 mph! Awesome!

@simhere2 It's fast for sure!  It is a very fun plane to fly! The full rates are a bit to much on this plane! It rolls very fast too! :-) Supposedly there is an iphone app that can calculate helicopter rotor RPM using sound as well!
