This is the one that pylon racers in the US have found to work the best. Many of the cheaper ones are hard to get an accurate reading, or a reading at all.

The stalker is an excellent radar gun. Check out this video..it catches every pass at 280-300mph.

I have the Prospeed which is much less expensive, but we noticed that it has a hard time picking up passes over 250mph. On smaller planes, it has a hard time clocking them at over 200mph.

I'm sure it's a great gun, but MAN, $1495!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [:@]

You can either be frustrated with missed or no readings, or buy the gun that actually works. The last thing I want to do is stand in the middle of the field with a cheap gun while another guys dives at me at 170 mph just to see how fast it is.

Daven,

How far can you be from a Q-40 and still get a reading with a Stalker?

Does the Stalker Sport work well for airplanes?? it's on ebay for $500

100 feet easily, normally closer to 200 feet.

The cheap guns make you feel completely unsafe trying to get a reading. I will say that I would still like to be further away, but the Stalker Pro is about the cheapest gun that I'll hold trying to get a reading.

I hear you Daven,

I owned the cheapy Bushnell Speedster and you had to be 20-30 feet away (i.e. in the middle of the runway during a low high-speed pass) to get a reading. But it was an $80 gun and it did clock my Diamond Dust at 123 MPH.

What speeds are you seeing on your Q-40s??

RE: Radar gun
 

Q40's? Consistantly in the mid 180's propped to race.
