Hi I had one with a tuned Nova rossi 53 and a massive tuned pipe very very fast. Get some good servos mine would stall standard ones in a dive. The engine and pipe combo were used in the uk prop speed record. I had the throttle servo fail at full throttle and had a very exiting 3 mins untill it ran out of fuel hit cloud base once or twice !!

jesus! I thought my PicoJet was pretty quick! been wanting a FunJet for awhile, will have to order one soon!

I wonder how much flight time he can get though? my picojet only managed about 2 minutes on a 3s 2200mah pack :(

I can remember watching the rip max flight team 13 years ago, they used to fly deltas at the shows.
There were about 10 in the team and it was always garenteed carnage with loads of mid airs.

I went over the field this evening just to run the engine up,
seems fine... the throttle servo is very slow... might be changing that..
Sorry about the low sound level...

I tried it a few more times after you left,
the servo is slow and I don't think it's returning to the same end points each time,
runs well on opti 30% ulv...:o was nearly tempted to throw it in the air.....

[QUOTE=Rob O;999321]Looks like a super tigre motor to me not sure of the size , but most ran a 50 of some sort usually the west motors that revved for fun & were seriously quick . Have fun :)[/QUOTE]
Rob, you were right, It's a Super Tiger 500
Gave it it's maiden today (I didn't fly it) needs tweaking, the second flight it came back with only one screw holding the engine in, the screws were only in the mounts by about 4mm..
Here's a vid of the 1st flight...
