Cool, guess I won't have to pull the radar gun out of my patrol car if I get one of these.

Sounded kind of fast until I looked at your prop size again, 30 x 12 would deffinately turn up on a 150. Bet that was a blast. Best Ive done was a 48" Prather models Little Toni with a stock Tower .46, Top flight power point 11 x 7, clocked it at 136.

Watching Snapasaurus hang the Edge and PUNISH the DA while he is torque rolling is great, flying my Yak is a blast, but all out speed has to be the biggest rush for me, especially when the Little Toni is WOT at 15 feet and I crank the left turn and listen to the other guys betting on how far the fuse will go when the wing or the nylon bolts give up.
