Airspeed is the speed the aircraft is moving through the air. Ground speed is the speed that the aircraft passes over the ground. They're not the same. You see if you're flying south at 30 MPH. And have a 30 mph head wind then your airspeed is 30 mph. But your ground speed is zero.
To get airspeed on your model you'd need some kind of pitot tube and pick up.
