RE: How to calacalate speed of aircraft
Thaet would only give you "theoretical speed", not actual speed.
There are a lot of losses involved in doing it that way.
Take the pitch, RPM and use something called "mathematics".
Better way is to measure a set distance and time the plane through that distance.
Or if you know a local law enforcement agent, ask to borrow his radar gun.
