I dont think the "Line of Sight" controlling is requirement to claim the title of "Fastest remote-controlled jet-powered Model aircraft ".I think that was just an equipment limitation and had to be flown "Line of Sight".

Neil holds the record of Fastest remote-controlled jet-powered Model aircraft .
Maybe the real question is what aircraft is consider to be a model and what is not?Value?Size? What define a model aircraft that makes X47 not a model.

Hold on now, you do know that RC (our hobby here) does NOT stand for remote control. A remote control is an infrared controller used to operate your television. RC for use stands for RADIO control by use of radio waves.

In saying this Id be willing to bet that fancy X47 doesn't used radio waves and is likely controlled via satellite. If this is the case then it cant qualify to be the fastest turbine powered "RC" jet.....
