@Shortsircut1

You are correct, however I would not think the speed gained in the dive would immediately dissipate when it leveled out to the horizontal, it should still carry some of the residual speed it gained from diving. I guess Nate will just have to stick his GPS in one of his jets and see if it reads any different. Although it would be really weird if the GPS maxed out at 106 kph.

Agreed, perhaps its outside the sample rate of the gps though and the speed is varying quickly enough that the GPS wont commit to the data and report it because it is filtering out the results as bad data

I have this plane and let me tell you I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!!! What a flyer!!! HIGHLY recommend if you are gowning in skill and want something with a wide window of opportunity. The ground view when this plane zips by reminds me of a lot of warbirds. My dives can reach serious speeds in full throttle and bottom end loop is flawless it is VERY fast and fun. Thank you both RC Saylors for all videos!!

Loving the content Saylors! I feel the need, the need for speed.

I don't even like RC planes but I do love your content!!!

REALLY AWESOME SPEED!! I LOVE that plane!! Can't wait till next video (but have to)!! Thanks Nate and Abby GREAT job!! 💟👍😘

I really enjoy your channel. I watch it almost every day. You and Abby are the best at what you do!

GPS is only measuring the change in time between locations across the ground. You probably exceeded 100mph in those dives!

That is a cool plane! Sweet video!

You guys are getting so interesting just love your KZread stuff keep us up

i built a mount for my gopro for the aeroscout s and had the opportunity to show some telemetric data in the videos. My topspeed was 126km/h ~ 78mph. I am excited what follows next :)

Great speed test guys. What a nice looking aircraft. Mmmmm I reckon maxed out, you where a lot faster in those dives! Great content as usual. Cheers :)

Nice!

what is that unit you put to check the speed.....where can I buy one....

GPS speed is vectored you have two components, horizontal and vertical. Your meter is designed to calculate speed in horizontal plane so during the dive the vertical component is not added to the total. GPS was designed this way to give accurate positions and velocity data depending on the receiver and software. Your speed measure only needs change in horizontal displacement over time to calculate speed. Speed over ground.

As others have mentioned, the GPS calculates primarily horizontal (ground) speed rather than airspeed, so the vertical component contributes very little (if any) to the result. Also, I suspect maneuvers may interfere with this unit’s ability to track satellites (or possibly just confuse it), especially since it already has an obstructed view and likely experiences plenty of electromagnetic interference. Nevertheless, it’s great to see speed tests on some aircraft! So often we can only guess-timate those speeds with the ol’ Mark I Eyeball, which ain’t much for accuracy... 👀😁

Is the GPS unit able to read accurately through the fuselage, most GPS units operate line of sight and don't even work well under trees or inside cars unless placed near windows.

Hum... you don’t have a link to the GPS that you used

I love this plane. Blew the original esc out of it, out another esc - Chinese zte beetle 30amp with 3-5v bec - and completely blew that esc out in the air completely losing control of her and put her in the ground nose first. In the process of putting her back together. I love this plane but have had nothing but problems. Some caused by pilot error, some caused by equipment failure. On my channel if you watch my maiden if the valiant, you will see what a brownout looks like..:

I have a fellow flyer that has one of those and I couldn’t keep up with him with my Apprentice...now I know why! Nice plane.

Super-cool concept. Might get more bashers into flying! I have this plane and it's an absolute wonder to fly! But I'm afraid your GPS meter simply won't work in a dive, i.e., when the plane is traveling vertically. It uses horizontal distance gauged by satellite to judge speed. When flying straight down or at a severe angle, the satellites will view it as not moving or moving very slowly.

I guess if you're a newbie I want to fly fast ..get it out of your system if you must. All you have to do is slap a higher KV motor, shorter prop to make it go faster..using the same size motor...or use a 4s with shorter props on the stock motor.... You can easy install a bigger motor..with whatever proper prop size. It's understanding brushless motors...power to weight ratio. it's doing torque rolls, flat spins, lumceva, tail slide, water fall, rolling circles inverted 3-5 feet off the deck..ect percision aerobatic or 3d aerobatics is were the fun is at...which all can be done on that model/trianer...if you know how to fly...

Ground speed is ground speed, air speed is a different matter. While the plane may be maxed out, any wind speed will alter the speed observed from your static position on the ground, which will also be the GPS speed. Fly into the wind and it looks slower, fly with the wind/downwind and it looks faster. And a fun way of thinking about is to imagine a "block" of air that the plane is currently in. Whatever that block of air was doing just before the plane entered it, will control what the plane does for the 1/00th of a second that it's in there. 😁 And, of course, your air speed is what keeps the plane flying. So if you fly at 30mph ground speed, in the same direction as the wind is blowing, in a 30 mph breeze, your plane will fall out of the sky, because it ain't movin' as far as that block of air is concerned! Hahahah! That is so fun to think about! 😂

Abby you a great sport an Nate I can't wait to see it in a edf jet

I had a GPS meter in my Fun Jet on 6S and it recorded 134 MPH! Pretty fast, my buddy got this Fun Jet over 150 MPH with a custom prop he made. I don’t recall the exact prop he used but it was way bigger than the 5.5X 6 I used. This was a few years back. I’m no longer trying to break the speed of sound! LOL. I’m more into 3D and sport flying these days!

Yessssss ⚓Gang

Wow 🎉🎊

Could the fact that the GPS is on the bottom of the plane make it less accurate? I've always put my GPS antennas on top, never thought to try them inside the plane, it would way more convenient on many builds.

How about adding a link to the GPS speed tester you guys are using when you do speed test videos

It is checking ground speed? So a dive straight down isn't covering any ground to speak of. Just a guess. Also, it isn't hard for most plane models to hit their terminal velocity without a straight down dive.

great camera work Abbey and great flying Nate but you should have reset the gps lol.

to me it really do not look that fast , i am surprised , Great camera work Abby awesome 👍👍👍🌹🌹

Nice video, and the speed looks decent. By the way, I wish you could give a try on the FMS EDGE 540 750mm. The spec is for 2S 1300mah, but I tried using 3S 1000mah, with all standard electronic, the result is crazily fast and the high speed rolling is insane;-)

I have to admit, I 'm surprised. I've got friends who have Valiants and have seen them fly more than once. Very capable and versatile plane and definitely quick. But even with some tailwind I never would have guessed 60+ mph.

Just to add some perspective, that's about 90 feet per second. In other words, from tree top level to the ground in about 1 second!

Could you speed test f15

Sampling rate on gps? I’ve used Altimeter 3 from Jolly Logic which samples every 0.05 secs. It will print out on Excel both altitude and acceleration for x,y,z axis. You have to due a little Excel programming to convert acceleration to velocity, not that difficult if you’re familiar with doing simple Excel formulas. This will give you both horizontal and vertical ground speed. If this is too much work, rent or buy a radar gun.Good Luck !

Take it on the freeway and see if 66mph is its max. What others are saying makes sense. That dive would take less time to get from one GPS coordinate to another even if its physical speed is faster. Assuming that's how it gauges speed.

That’s a big one

Nice little plane. So was that with,or against wind flying. Need a windless day so plane does it without wind assistance or resistance. Then we'll know true speed. Put your meter in your car hit the freeway see what ya get. See if it maxes at 66. Yeah you had alot of wind, me I break wind ALL the time😂😂😂😀😀😏😏😏. Good review. ⚓⚓👍💖👍⚓⚓.

I think you need to talk to your friends at flight test in order to come up with a methodology for measuring (or calculating) diving speed. As others have already pointed out...I don't see how a gps speed meter would work in a dive.

I am probably the 100th person to point this out but I think if you strap the GPS to a brick and drop it from height , the speed will read zero as it measures horizontal / ground speed , however I'm not going to try it with MY GPS thanks . 🤔🇦🇺

I wouldn't have guessed that fast.

I reckon what happened is this. You defo achieved a faster speed in a dive but don’t forget the GPS wasn’t travelling across the ground at this speed, it got the high speed from a high altitude to a low one not straight and level so therefore not recording the actual ground speed if this makes sense. My opinion only guys. Other than that another great pro video.

I would like to see you race your fastest ground vehicle with this plane

The GPS meter can read a lot higher. I've measured 148 Kph in level flight with a WOT4.

You should be able to get a more actuate measurement if you plug GPS to website, then you'll be able to see actually what the plane did.

Hi

The GPS will only measure your ground speed, not air speed. So diving toward the ground may be faster, but the GPS won’t pick up the tangential speed, only the speed across the ground. 😉

Impossible unless you reset and go with the wind. Reset and go into the wind and average. We do triangles in real life. Unless you have accurate low wind speed and direction. Otherwise your speed minus wind speed

Test your meter in the car.

That speed is over our highway speed..Its 100kms / hr road speed...

GPS measures 2 points across the ground.. GPS is not really a great way to measure airspeed in such a short distance.. you would likely need to travel around 300m-500m to get an actual accurate reading on a GPS...

Whoot

So after SPEED Week...when is SHARK week?!?! LOL!! The GPS speedometers only measure ground speed, not airspeed. Big difference!

Actual airplane speed is measured by how fast it's going through the air. Ground speed is totally irrelevant to an aircraft's performance. The wind that day made your test invalid. Also, your GPS is only measuring "horizontal speed" so the dives are not giving you accurate information. The only way to make this test accurate would be to fly on a day without any wind and keep the plane horizontal while going full throttle. If I'm wrong, please explain why. Thanks

You know how GPS works right? You need 3 satellites min to get triangulation, which doesn't care if you go up or down, side to side. The point in space moves from A to B-- you get speed reading (ground speed).

Doing this with a GPS on a windy day is like testing the speed of an RC boat on a moving river. Let me know if you need that explained more in detail. I fly "real" planes and RC planes by the way.
