hello agian fellas...got my sapac f-22 up for its maiden this mornin.....forgot to get video, monkeys get my age, the memory is the first to go, lols. i got the camera out for the second flight. the model is not very fast, i kinda figured it would be faster, but it is fun to fly anyhow. randy.

 

Randy I did a Quick Doppler of one of your passes at 3min in to video and came up with just about 84mph I can get it better with a temp and # of blades. Great flying sounded somewhat windy? Nice landing too.

yea glen it was a lil windy....it was around 75 deg, and the model has two fan units with 6 blades each. it looked to be around 75mph to me. at least the profile looked cool in the air. btw, i had to land, them fans suck down 3200mah in about 3 mins...randy.

 

eric, get yourself a good pylon racer, then you tell me whats fast, lols. yea, i always bring a "pile oh models" when i go flyin....and 5 chargers, with plenty of lipos....i can fly nonstop if i wanna, but it gets very tiring after a wile. would be cool to meet sometime this summer and fly since your so close....would love to see that corsair in the air. randy.

 

Thanks for the Doppler link Eric.

The F-22 looks good and stable . Hard to say about speed via a vid, but 65-70ish seems about right.
