We had audio problem for the entire flight , so do not play with your computer is our fault. |

The video equipment is a 600mw transmitter/receiver set purchased from www.BlackWidowAV.com . It has very low voltage requirements which makes it very easy to power. By properly selecting a transmitter and receiver antenna we can fly more than 4.6 miles (for now) straight up! We set it and forget it ! |

These record attempts are dedicated at Sean Bartlett (left on the picture) that was one of the best pilot that I ever meet in my life. He was a natural talent , his training session was two flights. He died at fifteen in a car accident , when with his brother were going to pick up a friend ,to have a fun day at the field. Sometime we think that maybe isn’t only the technology that keep our plane fly so high , probably we had some other help. |

Here the link to Model Aviation article where the President tells about his meeting with FAA officers. I strongly disagree with this way to solve the problem but here you can read about it http://www.modelaircraft.org/mag/0804/president.htm

Another world record broken!! Claim number : 11487 Sub-class F5-COMB (Aeroplane, electric motor (all sources of current)) F5: Radio Controlled Flight Category Type of record : N°193: Distance in a straight line Course/location : Jacksonville, FL (USA) Performance : 226.61 km Pilot : Giorgio AZZALIN (USA) Date: 24.04.2005 |

This record attempt is number 193 as reference by FAI part seven, distance in a straight line for electric motor with a combination of rechargeable and non rechargeable batteries.
The flight started with the model taking off hand launched by Simone Azzalin, the pilot was Giorgio Azzalin for the entire flight. Once the model was airborne it reached the altitude of 3/400 feet. The group of Pilot, CD and two observers seated on the convertible car and drove south on I 95 to Satellite Beach Florida.
The model flew between 200 and 400 feet of altitude on the right side and staying off of the Interstate road. The weather was very clear and cold for the average Florida temperature for this season, a 15/ 20 miles west-north –west wind interfered with the plane for the entire flight . The ground speed was around 80 Km/h with maximum speed of 105 Km/h and a minimum speed of 65 Km/h.
When we reached the exit 191 on I 95 South Satellite Beach FL we drove approximately 1 KM West to the designated landing point.
The engine was running for the entire flight, spinning the 14X12 propeller and using 6.5 Amph After 2 hours and 59 minutes the model safety landed on a grass strip on the left side of the road
The model is built with simple balsa and plywood, Monokote covered, no special material or glue was used.
The electric engine Actro CL 8 was running for the entire time using between 5 to 8 Amperes per Hour at a voltage between 15.8 to 14.4. volts.
To comply with the combination of power source , I used lithium rechargeable batteries and lithium NON rechargeable . The NON rechargeable section of the batteries were dedicated to supply the necessary power to the receiver and the telemetry system data recorder and transmitter
The receiver is a Futaba 8 channels PCM , the servos are a medium and mini size, Hitec
Eagletree wireless telemetry is installed in the model airplane that was sending real time data to the ground to the pilot. These data are the Amps engine consumption, battery pack volts, receiver volts, altitude and speed.
