3Flite | How far does your RC plane fly?

by 3FliteUK | November 13, 2013 | (8) Posted in Just Fun

Welcome to another episode from 3Flite, today we are answering a question surely every modelist will ask... How far does my plane really fly?! Well Elliot bravely put his phone with a GPS app called Movescount to the test and flew for 10 minutes to get a pinpoint accurate reading of just how far it really travels.

We've also shared with you an incredible experience Elliot had when he flew in a full scale plane over all of 3 Flite's beloved airfields, thanks go to Richard from WIGY TV check his stuff out here!:

Very nice guys. What camera are you using on the ground for the first part of the vid with the distance in 10 min?

Uhm.. 5860m in approx. 13-14 minutes (15 minutes on the clock minus 1-2 minutes of pre-flight and after-flight time..)? that's 420-450m per minute -> 4200m - 4500m?
Sorry for the weird reasoning.. you stopped the timer with flying time left, and as far as I've seen, didn't compensate for this..
