the futaba was about 30% greater distance
in the air I would expect the range to be a bit more
but I fly sail planes and can reach over 4,000 feet
so I need the range
but I will use the frsky on my .40 size powered a/c
You should have no trouble at all getting 4000 Feet ( 1200 metres)

In all my range testing I can easily get more than 3000 meters (over 10,000 feet) with both Futaba, FRsky and JR/Spektrum.

Some vids.. these are ground ranges, I also think they would improve in the air.

First one is 2800 meters (9200 feet)
