I want to see the first RC plane to break the sound barrier!

[keithskye]

I'm sure dentrinity knows that. He is only pointing out that as fast as that jet model is, it still isn't as fast as a GLIDER, with no engine!

I du know go to the RCSpeeds channel and watch many planes go over 400mph and one video has the plane going 468mph. The new Dynamic Soaring, (unpowered glider) "fastest radio controlled model aircraft in the world" is the Kinetic 100 DP. There's one plane on there, (The Thunder Master) that weighs 77pounds, has a 200" wing span and it's on video going 425mph!! The sound is unreal!

Am I sounding old if I say that was too fast and they should slow down a little?

That was sick

[MrGsimoes]

not bad but still slow, sail planes hit close to 400mph keep up the good piloting

Gonna give the dynamic soaring guys a run for their money pretty soon...

great plane and great flying, but there is one that got radar'd at 586kph last year. that's 316 kts / 364 mph. from the looks of it, it could have gone much faster but it was so fast it could barely be seen. it's on jetsinhd's profile here in youtube. thing was insane.
