This high speed Delta RC aircraft was displayed by Carl at Mather Aerospace Modelers in Sacramento, CA.
Let me just add that this was the most difficult thing to follow that I have ever filmed. Never a dull moment trying to find it in the viewfinder. Thanks Carl!

The engine is an OS …
The engine is an OS 46 VXDF on 30% nitro spinning an APC 7.4X8.25 carbon prop@ 25,000rpm at speed. The tuned pipe is a Macs #1250 muffled. The plane is basically a stock clipped wing version Diamond Dust.
The speed in the video is about 170mph level flight and it’s faster now. It pulls 46 Gs in the turns.
More info can be found on RCuniverse search in extreme speed column.

I make deltas also but nothing even close to that fast. Any idea how fast it is going?
