Distance travelled.
« on: January 15, 2023, 11:28:04 AM »
Hi all, 
Has anyone traced out the full pattern and gained an accurate distance travelled?
Thanks, Chris.

With 21m radius, 5,2 sec lap time and 6.30 flight time the distance travelled is allmost 9.9km. L

   Sounds about right, depending on the assumptions. Roughly a mile a minute for whatever the flight time is.

Hi Lauri and Brett,
   Is there any practical point knowing distance travelled in F2B?

No, I made a rough calculation just because you asked. Or maybe, if there is a flyaway, it gives an idea of max. radius where to search. L

Thanks again Laurie, my thoughts on practicality  ranged from engine and airframe logging and average speed when considering airframe design

And perhaps one day insurance policies may ask such.
