Many years ago Joe and I had his cross country plane up to about 8500 ft. AGL. I don't recall the exact number (it was 8500 and change), but he had one of the first Casio altimeter watches, and we put it in his sailplane. We could track the total altitude climb and descent through the course

Re: [RCSE] how high really

When I talk about being at 8500 ft... the stabs had long since disappeared, the wings were literally toothpicks, and were disappearing as well - the fuse was non-existent. That's how Joe consistently beat the pants off all the CC guys for all those years. The plane was always in the optimum

Re: [RCSE] how high really

You guys don't have to believe me... I had a tough time believing it myself. But one of the arts of cross country flying is keeping the model in the correct location in relation to the vehicle - virtually directly overhead. The reason for this is to maintain visual. I've seen the guys in Muncie
