I've had it going really fast too.

Post by: AirSpyder on January 24, 2020, 09:12:12 pm: I used an E-Flite 370 electric motor and a variable pitch propeller.
I bought the motor and propeller several years ago with every intention of using them in a plane.
Of course the plane never got built. :)
Anyway I got inspired by this photo and thought I'd try to make one that could ride on the rails.

Not sure how to post a video, can someone give me a few pointers?

Love the look of that one 8)

Is the video on youtube? Simply copy/paste what's in the address bar on the page of the video OR click share on the youtube page and copy/paste that link. Both ways will give you the same result of an embedded video.
