      WOW! With runs like that, you`ll soon be giving Justin Pucci a run for his money.

      Just imagine clipping a skid on the deck at speed, you'd be picking up bits for hundreds of meters

      Yeah seriously one little clip of anything at that speed - it would be all over (the place). I have to admire the guts of @Robert Gorham . Its very hard to fly with precision at speed - 1mm on the sticks can be the difference between elation or depression! There would be very little left after any incident like that.

      I am by no means a speed expert but I learned very quickly that smoothness on the sticks is the key. I think all my F3C training when I was younger is helping me out with speed flying. F3C is nothing but total precision, can be frustrating at times however it makes for a better pilot. Thanks for the kind words Shakmeharder. Appreciate it.

      Here is a Castle log from a 3.5 minute speed flight that makes this R5 go for those of you that like this kind of stuff.

      I'm spinning 3250 HS and only pulling 129 amps Max. I'm using a Castle 120 EDGE HV ESC with an added fan to keep it cool.

      With the old Scorpion motor (4525 520 kv) on the straight and level I was averaging 225 km/h. I have not clocked the R5 with the new 630 kv motor as of yet however 240 km/h should be reachable.
