Some time ago I put an Avocet wrist altimeter into my 3.2 meter plane and
thermalled it up to where I could barely see it. The altimeter max. alt.
read 2,400 ft.
Recently I read a review of a small on board max. altitude recording thingee
and the reviewer said he thermalled his 3 meter up to 2,300 ft. at which
point he could barely see the plane.
I've had a guy tell me he was able to fly his plane to over 3,500 ft. as
measured by a full scale plane that was at the same altitude. (the r/c pilot
was on the ground). I don't believe him.
Who, among you, have measured how high you can see (fly) your 3 meter? How
high were you able to go and still control the plane?
