My RC airplanes fly a LOT faster than 40mph.
The slowest one does about 80mph.
Most of mine are capable of flying over 120mph.
Ballistic (old school) Pattern aircraft, Pylon aircraft, and Jets.

Yes, there is such a thing as NORMAL, if you have to ask what is "NORMAL" , you probably aren't !
Failure may not be an OPTION, but it is ALWAYS a POSSIBILITY.
ALL systems are GO for MAYHEM, CHAOS, TURMOIL, FIASCOS, and HAVOC !
