I have received many questions about FPV flight.  The one I get the most is "how far can they go?"

This video shows a three and a half hour flight of an RC craft.  The video and instrumentation claims 80 Kilometers distance from the pilot to the craft.

See for yourself.

RC Combat

We have been flying RC Combat. Flat foam airplanes that are cheap, with a streamer on the back that your opponents try to cut with their prop. I would like to include some information on this for those interested. We have been flying combat missions the last two Tuesdays. The design of the plane that we have been using is called the "fast and furious". It is built using foam from the "Dollar tree" store for $1 per sheet. The power pack comes from Hobby Partz website and costs $25 for the motor, speed control and servos.

-----------Original email with information Thanks to Steve L.  for getting this information  ----------

Fellow UFO-ers, I'd love to be able to fly more combat this year! Can we fly combat tomorrow (Tue) evening at the field? The weather forcast shows a slight decrease in the winds, so it should be possible. At the least, I'll bring my one plane that is still flyable. If anyone wants to talk about combat, I'll be at the field tomorrow evening or you can always send me an email. Attached is an old email with plans and suggested parts. HeadsUpRc recently changed their web site, so those links no longer work, but you can get an idea of the parts we are using. The old Bell Shaped motor that most of us originally used is no longer available anywhere that I can find. I'll try and do a little more research to find a cheap replacement. UFO Members, Here's the details of the little electric combat plane I brought to the meeting tonight. I plan to build a few them for anyone to use. I have lots of Lowes Fan Fold Foam board that you can have if you want to build one. I will build one for you at the piece cost if you want me to. They only take a few hours to build, so there is lots of time to make one or decide if you want one. We can wait until the planning meeting until we decide who wants what... I found the design on RcGroups.com and I've attached the plans.
