I recently had to scrap my ageing PZ Spitfire due to one too many crashes, and the fact they dont make the old version any more. So whilst waiting for the new version to come out, decided to go for a bit of speed as an interim plank - got a Funjet ultra airframe, and kitted her out with a 3200kv motor, 5x5 prop on 3S. Total cost of putting her into the air (minus radio tX and battery) < £100.
Gave her the maiden last night. That thing is stupidly quick. Current setup is supposedly >100mph and I can well believe it. In a dive, flat out, I needed every bit of nerve to keep her pointed down ready to pull out. Never was burning a few electrons so much fun! A welcome distraction from the pure concentration needed from my helis!
Got my eye on a hotter prop setup and 5S pack :ack2: Let the carnage begin!
