I've flown a few R/C jets and i'm a current AMA Turbine Waiver holder and I can tell you that this particular jet would not be legal to fly at a AMA Sanctioned event. The only reason why is because they put a 200 mph cap on top speed, BUT.... and this is a big one! AMA officials do not carry radar guns to jet meets to check. Its more of a self controlled thing you will hardly ever see anyone with a radar gun at a meet. Trust me there are jets out there that can go 200 mph straight up no problem. Now that particular airframe would fly on a Jetcat p20 which puts out alittle over 5 lbs of thrust. The P160 36 lbs of thrust. Basically a the rule of thumb on jets is to shoot to a 1:1 thrust to weight ratio. Anything over 1:1 depending on the airframe is ballistic! Just for a comparison this jet will fly on a P-180

As far as how do you not loose it: Flying a fast jet is more of a feel thing. Your basically flying the radio more than the plane. The majority of the time you see more of the outline of the plane than anything. You basically know what inputs to give the jet without having to see what it does in the air.
As for POV a buddy of mine put one in his jet. Heres the link and BTW it's top speed is 199.9 mph LOL Also he's just cruising around till about the 3:30 mark. All the high speed stuff is after that.
