Jeffdoesthis, one hell of an achievement if I don’t say so myself. Here’s your crown 👑, don’t get to attached to it as my new V3 Dolphin build is underway and this thing will leave purple drink in the dust. Oh don’t worry, it’s still one motor VS two when it comes to the V3 build….Rotor Flex
This is cool! did you have to change out the servos and beef up the ailerons for control at that speed? My Dolphin at a measly 130 is starting to have control issues at max speed.
Nope mines stock control surfaces, with metal gear e max servos and hits 160 no problem. 6s 2414 1750kv 60 amp esc on 6x6.5 prop at 9600 feet above sea level. Was easy to launch too... Still haven't found a good motor/prop combo to get faster and still launch reliably. 3110 900kv and 12s may be the hot ticket.
Way-To-Go my friend! CONGRATS! BTW-whenever any vehicle exceeds its ability (in speed) to have the directional controls steer--it just keeps on goin ! When I was a teenager I got into a 62 chevy with some friends and the driver took 'er up to 122 mph - he then said "watch this" and he quickly turned the steering wheel left and right BUT the car kept going straight. The wheels were skidding on the pavement-No steering control with quick flips of the steering wheel. I think it was from that moment that I said "I need to study engineering!" And I did!
I think the plane is just going so fast that with it being foam, everything bends and tweaks. I don't think there is a whole lot you can do to fix it other than to cross your fingers and send it🫡
That's what I've been doing. Once it starts to try and kill it self I just reduce throttle and she comes back to level and stops trying to death spiral
I'm still learning, that's why. I have only been doing this for 1 year and 1 month. I had Walmart rc toys but never had a plane, drone, flight controller, 3d printer, radio system, etc, etc. So I feel I'm doing pretty good so far. Also, my flight controller only supports up to 6s.
That was complete bull s t your speed went from 149 then jumped to 190 pure bull and stayed there something very fake going on rotor flex mate hes the lair now his air frame has to much drag
Don't be butt hurt. How was this fake? Did my speed increase from a smaller number to a bigger number, yes that's how going faster works. I would assume at the speed the gps refresh rate was lagging a bit behind considering I was going so freakin fast buddy. The whole speed run including the take off was recorded without any cuts. And I also explained what I was going to do ahead time. USA USA!
Duh, the sound is fake. DJI O3 doesn't record audio. Notice how there isn't any wind noise too. Also the music in the background was added as well. Plus the graphic overlay was adding in too. I know there will always be a hater in the comments and that's okay. Love you bye.
You should put on some 6" capable motors like Xnova 2806.5/2808 and remove those air brakes like the pan-/tilt tower in the front and swap inlets to naca styled ones, THEN we can talk about speed. ✌️
You guys are having fun competing but I already have you all beat 😂 My dolphin goes 206 mph. Pito tube and gps confirmed!! I don't make TH-cam videos though 😊 Be careful guys they do have a death speed Where controls become ineffective If you don't modify the air frame And air foil !!
@@RickEllis-w6f First of all I don't fly FPV My dolphin only has what it needs inside Including an FR sky pito telemetry and gps box ! I reinforce the elevons with carbon fiber cloth I use high torque AOG mini metal gear servos With carbon reinforced push rods ! Everyone else is missing the 200 mark because they are running pancake quad style motors And trying to run high cell count in big diameter props ! Small diameter and high pitch is what gives the miles an hour ! I'm running a high KV inrunner With a 4.25 inch prop and 5.5 pitch on 4s @ 1800 watts with a high quality 100c battery (2800 mah.) And castle 100 lite esc. I also did a few other minor mods to the fuselage for drag reduction! Good luck to all at catching me LOL. GOING FOR 220 MPH THIS WEEKEND!!

Yessir! This is what I love to see! You will get much more speed if you streamline the frame by moving the camera and Vtx
Super video, awesome.
What type of osd are you using?
Love your channel, cool stuff, subed.
Have a nice flights.
It's the DJI 03 with Goggles 2 and a custom graphic overlay I made in Adobe Illustrator.
WTF are you smoking!!! No way it is doing that speed just by changing to a lipo! Even with that massive dive I give you 140mph MAX!!
I smoke only the finest sticky ickey.
@@JeffDoesThis that explains everything 😂
Please do a how to video on the osd overlay

150 maybe. GPS glitch found you another 40mph for a split second 😂
Yeah, he needs to sell that type of acceleration to the military! 😂
@@WipeoutFPV My dolphin has a Pito tube and gps confirmed 206 mph
@@warbirdflyerF4U if you say so 😅
@@WipeoutFPV pito tube doesn't lie ! Especially when confirmed by GPS
I suppose you could go cheesy and use a hobby rocket motor. Would set a new top speed, even if for a few seconds.
You can thin down the wings to the max... the thinner the less drag and resistance you'll get.. remember that mo pawa ain't the only way!!
Weird mine dives off to the left at max throttle over 125 also, let me know when you figure out why that happens

#1 BACK IN THE USA AS IT SHOULD BE!!!
America, Fuck Yeah!
Why didn't you run all 3 motors for more speed using higher amps on 8s and lower kv motors go for 3 motors and be the first to do so
I'm still learning, that's why. I have only been doing this for 1 year and 1 month. I had Walmart rc toys but never had a plane, drone, flight controller, 3d printer, radio system, etc, etc. So I feel I'm doing pretty good so far. Also, my flight controller only supports up to 6s.
@@JeffDoesThis your doing wonderful keep sending it
I'm wondering if you could put a could of EDF ducts on this build
@@LehtusBphree2flyFPVBelieve it or not prop rc planes are faster than EDF planes. But I bet i could be done

Your amps were all wrong, and i know refresh rates for gps i do fly a dolphin fpv
Also you overlay sound track of the sound of more than 2 quad motors gives it away as fake its bull
Duh, the sound is fake. DJI O3 doesn't record audio. Notice how there isn't any wind noise too. Also the music in the background was added as well. Plus the graphic overlay was adding in too. I know there will always be a hater in the comments and that's okay. Love you bye.
Ha ha iam not a hater just a fact finder 😂😂 so the 190 was overlay as well
thanks for the confirmation jeff but it is fun to watch
you mean 2nd or 3rd fastest. youre about 40kph off mate
those aren't KPHs those are freedom units baby.
Hell Yeah Brother!
OH YEAH🤩

I hear you, I just need to win the lottery, so I buy all this stuff🤑
@@JeffDoesThis yeah, I absolutely understand that! But looks like you have a printer to make it more aero at least. 😁

C'mon Jeff - Kick some ass !
tic tac tic tac.... the clock is ticking for that record come back to europe... 17 inches... bahhh average ;-)

Dude that 3rd motor is just dead weight. Get it pushing also
I'm on it!
👍👍👌
3 motors
