Went to an R/C Formula 1 plane race. They were restricted to .40 sized engines. They also used surgicsl tubing as a pressurized fuel tank to force more fuel in so they would run faster and so the g-force of turning would not effect the mixture. They were very fast. in 200 ft they did not have time to come off knife edge for the next turn. Heard of one going out of control and hitting a chain link fence. The nose cone came off, went through, and killed a spectator that was behind the fence.

Still understand the fastest r/c planes are gliders despite the development of r/c jet engines.
