If you had telemetry or a radar gun, you may be surprised! In my opinion, that is faster than 140 mph. Back in the early 1990s, my brother designed a foam/balsa plane powered by a Fox .36 glow engine running a 9X8 prop. Your plane appears to be going at least as fast as ours and our plane did 150 mph.
Thanks! I do have a skyRC gps unit I plan to put in it. There’s no room in the battery bay so I’ll have to take the wing off and tuck it inside the rear of the fuselage. I was being conservative with my guess, I agree it’s probably closer to 150mph.

I have a similar setup. Except on 4S, 7x6 prop, no sure of the motor, think it's around 1900kv. IIRC I clocked mine on GPS at 163mph (263kph) in a dive with a good tailwind. I would say yours is of similar speed. Ridiculously fast. I think yours is a lot faster than 140mph.
That's awesome haha. I bought one of these planes a few years ago with the intention of adding DJI FPV to it but it's just been sitting in the box. This gives me some motivation to finally put it together and fly it. IDK about going 6S on mine but man that would be a wild FPV ride lol
Put it together! I flew this on 4s twice and it’s still pretty fast. This airframe glides really well and true. I imagine it would be great FPV 3 or 4s.
Sweet! I got 123mph on 4s 7x6 prop but that was a huge dive from 400’. 143mph with a 7x6 is actually too much for this airframe. Thanks for watching 😁✈️
Hi guys, just got this plane and cant love it more....But....landing....dont you brake the prop...? What about using folding prop....? Has anyone tried it?? Thanks for posting...😊
Once in a while you’ll break a prop. Glide in for a soft landing and most times it’s fine. Personally I wouldn’t trust a folding prop used on gliders at this speed/ rpm.
