Hi Everyone .
I thought of ‘hunting’ some Electric powered model plane’s World Records !!!
A modified  F3J ‘ship’ called ‘Stork’ is my first thought (for Distance in a Straight Line) .
Initial thinking has been made as if we could Let the model fly off a Mountain watching it from an Ultralight plane which a good friend of mine will fly :

1)  Max. flying time 4 hours and Not easy hours on such plane .
2)  Initial starting height is Not Forbidden on this class (F5E-S) so it would be nice to fly for the First hours without maybe having to fire the motor Up .
3)  Cruising speed of the Ultralight is 45-50 Km/h . Do you think we will be able to follow the plane which must be ahead of us Always .
4)  With a 12000 mAh Li-Po batt. I could have 12 minutes of Power on a 60 Amps Draw .
Plane’s Weight about 4300 gramms .
5)  With a 15000 mAh one time is 15 mins . Plane’s weight about 4600 .
6)  Greece doesn’t have such Big Straight Dry lands where thermals can Help us .

Recommendations are WELCOMED . WE NEED YOUR VIEW ON THIS ,
