I don't have the URL to hand but a private group
in northern California quite a few years ago had
large model gliders flying autonomously cross
country doing out and returns and triangles.
IIRC they were doing 50 km or so last time I looked.
I know NASA Dryden (now Armstrong) were looking
at this more than 10 years ago too as they bought a B50 for the project.
