Dickw Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 The Germans hold a speed event for such planes every year, and 500 kmh is not unusual. They are even approaching 300 kmh for an under 250 gm class of model. Have a look at some of the planes and equipment on this website.

Bob Cotsford Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 What amazes me is that a folding prop can hold up under such high rpm! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are mostly handmade specials, but some commercial options are available. Have a look at what I pay for a folding 18" prop that will take up to 8kW (done it) at a mere 8,500 rpm for my F5B planes. Dick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Technically impressive, but the aesthetics of some of those models... As my Gran used to say, "That's a face only a mother could love"!!! ...and the winner of the "My eyes are bleeding" cup...!
