Don’t Try This At Home, Folks!
Don Shulman, Shulman Aviation, sent your webmaster a link to this model aviation news story.
On Sunday, January 17th, 2010 in a suburb of Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, the team of Axel Hache and David Shulman set a brand-new Guinness World Record:
"For the fastest radio controlled, conventionally configured, turbine model aircraft in the world.”
According to David their goal was to fly faster than 290-305mph and they certainly exceeded that! The end results came to an average speed of 337 mph (up- and downwind). The maximum speed achieved was 345.23 mph (downwind)".
