The vid I’ve been waiting for! Nice flying! I can’t wait to get mine into the air. Also, nice camera work. It’s not easy filming/tracking smaller speed machines.
Sorry it took a while to come out! I had so many other videos already uploaded and dates to be released lol the Tortuga is such a incredible airframe! Not only does it fly amazing but the speed on 6s is insane! Thanks! My wife does a great job videoing!
So Heli direct use to carry the Xnova motor but I believe Xnova discounted them. It was a special motor design for the Tortuga, super light and powerful.
@@hamiltonshangar it’s a 36m 2200kv, you can use any motor from 28-36mm and really any KV around 2000-2200kv. Just remember weight, if it’s heavier then 140g then just move stuff around. You want it to CG dead level!
Tortuga is specifically designed to go fast but you could fly it on a for a 4s setup. Any 28mm motor will work. Any pusher prop plane is going to be loud as the prop it self makes a lot of noise.
Alright I need to know the set up I want to buy one and make it this fast..I’d like to do 200mph with one of these little planes so when I do it with my turbine jet it doesn’t seem as fast and scary
ua-cam.com/video/xGLzMyCrqdw/v-deo.html Xnova motor 2200kv motor, castle 100 amp ESC(it pulls way more but it handles it) 6s 3000mAh APC 5.25x6.25 Carbon prop
Multiple different GPS is in multiple different speed readings. Running the 5.25x6.25 carbon prop. I’ve built quite a few Tortuga‘s and all on Xnova motors and easily 200mph.
Hey man, awesome stuff, great hand launch, but i doubt the speed is in 200mph range, i think its near 150, you can search funjet 200mph and checkout some videos as a comparison, still great stuff, cheers
It’s every bit of 200mph lol it’s done countless passes and checked with a few different ways. I’ve built countless Funjets. The Tortuga is faster on less power as it’s more aerodynamic.
Man that’s a little screamer!!! Sounds really cool!!! Crazy good camera work too keeping up with that thing!!!
It does scream! About 40k RPM! My wife does good with filming!
Beautiful Jeff!
Thanks Larry!
That was sick!!!!!! Great flight!!!!!
Thank you! It’s a fun plane!

Thank you!
Another great video! Had to laugh because of our discussion we had about my wife trying to video the Apprentice. No way she could video this lol
Thanks Jeff! Yeah she would definitely have a hard time with this one lol
Nice wing
Thank you!
Where you getting the xnova motor? I cannot find one 😔 Awesome jet!!

@@westhobbiesrc8051 I will have to check the specs and see if I can find a similar one. Thank you!

You’re welcome!
What kind of grip tape are you using?
It’s from Home Depot, for decks but you can get it from a skateboard shop or Amazon.
i really like the tortuga but i dont think i need the speed. any recommendations for a more efficent, quieter setup that is lighter?

@@westhobbiesrc8051do you have an xnova motor I think I found it online but I can't find a way to buy one
@@ScrapHeapFPV yes I do, unfortunately I think this motor is discontinued? I can’t find it either.
@@westhobbiesrc8051I sent you an email I would love to buy one of these motors if you are willing they do appear discontinued
@@westhobbiesrc8051 NVM I found what I think is the last remaining one online and bought it form germany with 50$ shipping but I got one
Pretty sweet
SOMETHING TO DO HEY HAVE FUN
Yes it is! Speed is always fun!
@@westhobbiesrc8051 I GOT FUN JET WONDERING IF ILL EVER FLY BEEN 15 MONTH CHEERS 🍻
Very nice! I love the funjet! I’ve built a bunch of them over the years with all different power setups
Dam she fast, I still yet to build mine 😎
Yes it is! Very fast on 6s! We it till I start the new one! You need to build yours!
@@westhobbiesrc8051 In want to find a EDF to swap with the pusher, not sure what I could use thou.
@@DadsRCHangar Jetfan 80 with HET motor and 8s would be a rocket!

$350+ for just the airframe, lol. I build a fast balsa flying wing for $35 from a kit, makes a cooler whoosh sound when glide past too.
I bet your $30 balsa wing won’t handle 250mph and turn at 250mph lol
Your $35 kit isn’t going anywhere near 200mph..
She's a screamer 😉
Yes it is! Moves out nice!
She is moving
Yes it is!
