Many years ago I flew CL models, even my first motor was a TD. But now after 29 years I came back to CL and discovered that I love speed, so I started to investigate on the web how to obtain more RPM and more speed in my racer design.

Today I got the 22, 200 RPM with the Cox TD .051 and a 4X4 prop.

Cheers

Nice, have you done anything special to the engine? There are several ways to get some high revs out of the TD.

I designed my first speed CL model, named AV-1 In Memoriam of my son Avraham.

This is the motor and plane that I start to learn about high perfonrmance in speed flights. The video is the first stage of flights, with a Tornado 5 1/4 x 4 prop. The spray bar is from ACE that works great.

I share your pain, my wife and I lost a baby boy in infancy. Painful, and you have my condolences.
