Very impressive design and really nice air to air footage.

[@nerdnic]

Andrew Newton Thank you!

[@fpvlive]

I'm very impressed, what a nice and clean design. Keep up the good work.

[@KristopherKane]

This is really great Nic. I like the aluminum spars and they make me thing outside the normal box of components that FliteTest highlights.

[@nerdnic]

Kristopher Kane It's so strong! I've not been able to come up with something stronger that's lighter.

[@Project-Air]

Amazing work man. I will have to build myself one of these. You've gotta love planes that track like they're on rails.

[@nerdnic]

JamesWhomsley Thanks! You should definitely build one.

[@Chrzan98]

WOW! Awesome plane and experienced pilot! I love P-39 :D Good job

[@nerdnic]

Chrzanek Thanks!

[@rsprague1]

Really nice work Nic! Going to build this one and your spitfire

[@nerdnic]

rsprague1 Make sure to post your build in the FT thread!

[@cha3119]

Really outstanding - I have a way to go before I am making runs of 119mph! Great work.

[@nerdnic]

Peter Gregory Gives you something to work toward :-)

[@CrstnJdiKnight]

Amazing how well flaps are used on the small, fast speed demon models. ^_^ One can always reinforce the bottom fuselage with reinforced packaging tape or plastic vovering underneath. Nice video and keep them roling. ^_^

[@nerdnic]

+CrstnJdiKnight Adding some reinforcement to the underside is a good idea for belly landers!

[@footduck6681]

Nic Lechner what is the material of the reinforcement? Where can I get it?

[@jakeb2339]

Oh great, now I have to choose a paint job. Thx man.

[@nerdnic]

jake B Heh, were you going to do a yellow one?

[@jindrichbehal5415]

*119MPH??!!!!!* 😱😱 THAT'S a Testament to a great Design, and very rugged Airframe! .... Something I didn't see on your Build Video - *FLAPS!!* That's a game changer for me. Now I REALLY want one! I'll figure out some way. Foam Core has come a Long way in a short time. Yeah, I'll try to get one. I'm thinking, with Landing Gear and "Russian Sized" Tires, that should take off and land pretty well, even on Grass. ~ Carmine 💥 ⛽

[@markhondaturbo]

wow, great design. you could probably work at flite test.

[@szajba8106]

His models are better than those from flitetest, more scale, better finished and more advanced. FT crew could learn from Nic a lot.

[@lmdetect]

Hey Nic, could you suggest a speed gun? I would like to have one, but I have no idea what brand to buy.

[@nerdnic]

lmdetect This is the only gun I've used: Bushnell Velocity Speed Gun www.amazon.com/dp/B0002X7V1Q/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_sJwJvb8XG902M

[@Granite]

Wow, quite the model but may I ask about the durability? How is it in comparison to other foam board planes? Also make the link to your page a hyperlink. Thanks

[@nerdnic]

Granite So far I've crashed the original build twice. Once during filming and once today. It's holding together really well so far. The v2 speedwing design is overall stronger and the fuselage doubler really help keep it solid. Keep in mind though if you run a heavy set up landings are rougher on the airframe in gereral.

[@brendendas]

Great ac Nick! What was your setup on the 119MPH version?

Now if we can find a plastic bottle to make a easy cowl!

[@nerdnic]

Sailor john This will happen at some point with one of my designs!
