Pretty cool, over three times more than the 50min required by Alonso.

Hi Chris

 

I believe the giant Cessna is a lovely plane. Just not the right choice for Alonso.

 

I agree concerning the X8. For long endurance forward looking missions I would prefer the Techpod, because a classic airframe with a tail is better mannered and no catapult is required.

Hi Reto
You are probably right, i am so in love with this airplane as it is so easy to fly that the only thing
that comes in my mind right now is this model.
Despite it's size it is a very docile airplane, stalls nicely and it can land in grass with no problem.
I would also reccomend my other love the X8 with a catapult but it is not an easy airplane to start with
although it has great potential.

I guess you are referring to the giant Cessna with 120 inch (3m) wingspan
and 25 lb (11kg) weight.
