P-51B

IF the recent Atlantic flight gets into the record book, it would probably stay there. If accepted, it would be an AMA record as well as an FAI record. A waiver is being worked on to allow attempts to break such records. As it stands right now, even the altitude record could not be attempted after the first of the year since it requires unenhanced vision, although it would not necessarily be autonomous. Another thing that I found amazing is that the FAI judges whether a model is a model by the "intent". Man, would that make for a debate.
