Thanks guys for a warm Australian welcome!

The Banshees did their usual howling and the Diabolo-S's started to flex their blades

Very impressed by helicraze's speed flying. Boy do I have a lot of work to do before becoming a speednik!

I just saw that Helicraze took first place with 282km/h!! Holly molly! Damn that is fast. Care to share some of your tricks? Very impressive! I have a lot of practicing to do!

Practice. This year we used time track by button pushers so there is margin for error.
I think best way is 200m run no more than 10-15m high with 2 people pushing buttons each end (and average of both) to calculate speed. We tried radar in tripod 2 years running but even that had strange result and lots of misses

not taking anything away from my good friend but that 282kmh was a false reading Guys , 255kmh was the more legit figure and the one we agreed upon , we did ask the officials to scrap the 282 but i think they got a little too excited with their posting

Helicraze was definitely the fastest on the day without doubt

Unfortunately timed even over 150m at these speeds only gives a fraction of a second difference between 10km/hr !

Having an electronic gate is just about impossible for the event - there must be another way !

a couple vids from the weekend

HC in the 1st vid and the 2nd was me

had a little moment at the end of my vid

Australia Speed Cup 2014 - Helicraze's Banshee runs at 1.07pm (1 min 8 sec)

Australia Speed Cup 2014 - Fasster's Banshee runs at 1.43pm (1 min 44 sec)

Here's some Banshee pics from the Australian Speed cup 2014. First Fasster's.

Next Helicraze's. Note nice 45 degree angle although that was against the wind (actually very little), easier to catch

[NevErSn0w]

Perfect blade tracking by the looks of that
