These guys were telling me the average flyer can easily run over 200 mph with some of the hot shots over 300. I looked it up on the net and there are youtube videos where they're over 400 mph and these are freakin gliders. These guys were telling me usually you can make an airframe go fast enough they literally come apart and they are ballasting these things with lbs of weight just to get them to go faster. So if the airplane doesn’t kill ya the weight will take ya out. A couple lbs of ballast at two or three hundred mph could sure cause some damage. Can you say that's going to leave a mark.

See why DS slope gliding is on my bucket list. How about a maiden flight @ 380mph+ (42lbs).

I saw the rock wall!!!!!!!!!! The guy with the radar gun was behind it.

Heck pull the motor outa yer gasser stick about 25 lb lead, take the landing gear off and ya have an IMAC slope soaring machine.

I've got to get me a 40 size speed demon. My Funjet Ultra is a blast but something on a pipe we be fun for sure.

"Take the landing gear off"

Just made me laugh.
I have seen that done on You-Tube.

I had a hard time believing the speeds they achieved and they don,t even have a power system. One guy showed me a large pile of rocks built up like a wall. They would get behind it when not flying. Crazy.

My jets are all faster than my race planes but the race planes are no hassle so I love it.

Couple more go fast glow no throttle sweet engined planes.

And another Nelson noise maker. 200mph is just a great way to relax.

[aquila]

And I have an old supertigre x40 formula one engine that will probably go in this!

And when I need to break 300mph, while it's not glow, I turn to this. At $25 worth of fuel each flight though I don't fly it often.
