RE: Distance judging
Looks like your runing a APC prop . what pitch is it ? might want to try a Xoar or whatever name brand prop but larger with a flater pitch .. it will help you in your approch you might lose a littel top end .. seeing this a four star i asume your not pilon racing
another though is my personal style on giant scale planes is I use a flat approch and what i mean by this my base leg is rather lower and my final is not vary steep its a flat shallow final where i bleed alot of engry off before touch down
