Here's a few clips of the Stryker. The wifey could barely catch it in the camera:

Nice flying Gabe.
I'm going to resume my plan to build one of those. It looks like it's about as fast as my pusher F117 and I've got everyting but the foam for the stryker.

No harm no foul Dube! Taken as a compliment.
19k, I've seen some reviews online about these things getting into the 140 mph range with the right setup. New motor and 4s batteries and I will be screamin over 100mph. There seems to be some reinforcement necessary though on the motor mount when upgrading.

That is one screaming streak of lightning! But the best part is if you pause just right at about 41 or 42 seconds, you can see proof that Sasquatch is REAL!

Stock they're in the 80 range. Hopped up they do around 140. I saw a youtube of one on the radar gun at 137.

Bone stock with a Power Edge 30C 2200mah battery. The zippy 2200 30C's feel noticeably slower with this puppy. I was told this thing does about 80 outta the box. Trying to find a motor that will handle 4s right now. Fast is never fast enough!

EDF's aren't very efficient. Yet, it's hard to beat the combination of scale looks and great performance with an EDF even if it's not as fast as a pusher. Both have a place in the hangar. Most of the high speed pushers are belly landers because of where the prop is located. Here's one they claim is doing 140 www.youtube.com/watch?v=gSM2kAYxIx4&feature=related |
