SR71 Blackbird RC Speed Test: Reaching 80mph with 4S Battery

In this thrilling episode, TheRcSaylors take on the challenge of testing the RC Twin EDF version of the iconic SR71 Blackbird. Known for its blistering speeds and record-breaking performances in real life, the team aims to push this scaled-down replica to its limits. With a 4S lipo battery in play, they embark on a mission to achieve maximum velocity without resorting to drastic maneuvers, showcasing their piloting skills and the aircraft's capabilities.

Flying the Blackbird flat and level, the team manages to hit a respectable 65 mph, navigating the challenges of maintaining throttle and landing smoothly. But that's just the beginning.
