Default 1/30 scale SR-71 flying on E-30 motors, video

I was doing some torture testing, normally I fly this on an E-6 which is much more relaxing on boost, doing testing with E-20, F-24 and E-30, the F-24 and E-30 give a scale speed of about Mach 4...

Now THAT is a PROPER boost speed for a SR-71 !

Probably a similar flight profile of a real one after a flame out too!

I saw several of Frank's flights with this a few week's back, during a TARC practice launch.

He makes it look so easy!

Agree about the flame-out flight profile.
Ever-so-slightly better than a manhole cover, just like the F-4.
