RE: 150 meter rule.
Looking at the Fredricksburg photo above I'm thinking a couple things about last fall.
1) I think we were flying past the house on the left and turning in the middle of the far left field which would be at least 200 meters.
and
2) some folks were approaching the road and that's about 250.
Like I said I've been badly mistaken before when I got fixated on a topic, but boy it seems to be my experience that everyone I know is flying outside 175 meters. Now I'm curious to know how fast we really fly 'cuz I've heard it said we're doing about 70-80 and that's 30 to 35 meters per second which should allow a mere 15 seconds from end to end for the official box, and THAT seems REALLY tiny. Does anyone have GPS data on their speed with a 2M plane?
