In this thrilling episode, TheRcSaylors take on the challenge of testing the RC Twin EDF version of the iconic SR71 Blackbird. Known for its blistering speeds and record-breaking performances in real life, the team aims to push this scaled-down replica to its limits. With a 4S lipo battery in play, they embark on a mission to achieve maximum velocity without resorting to drastic maneuvers, showcasing their piloting skills and the aircraft's capabilities.

Flying the Blackbird flat and level, the team manages to hit a respectable 65 mph, navigating the challenges of maintaining throttle and landing smoothly. But that's just the beginning. By switching off the safe mode, they dive headfirst into the pursuit of speed, eventually reaching a jaw-dropping 80 mph. The adrenaline is palpable as they push the boundaries of what this RC aircraft can achieve, highlighting the importance of choosing the right battery for optimal performance.

Navigating the skies with finesse, the team underscores the need for visibility accessories like red vertical stabilizers to prevent orientation issues, especially with the Blackbird's sleek design. The aircraft's flight characteristics come to life as they showcase its agility and power, offering viewers a front-row seat to the action-packed spectacle.
