[@bwilliams463]

My father used to fly RC planes (and real planes - more on that later) until he crashed his last one - a Cessna 172, I believe; that was over 40 years ago - and gave up in favor of flying real planes (and not crashing them). But he still liked RC models, so on occasional - and much-dreaded - Saturdays, he would drive the family to the closest RC field, park at the flightline fence, and watch people flying their models ALL AFTERNOON. He would pay eager and avid attention to the 'action,' while my mother and sister read books and I silently begged for SOMEBODY TO CRASH. He eventually moved on to parking by the runways at small local airports to watch the much-less-frequent takeoffs and landings, meaning there was even less going on and now I couldn't wish for ANYONE to crash. God bless him, he truly loved flight.

Seeing this makes me thankful for the fact that all of my flying has been with drones. I started with a losi 10th scale RC car. Electric with nicd batteries. The moment I saw drones on TV in around 2014, I knew that they were for me. The hobby was just so expensive, but the goggles and transmitter will probably last you. Most of the cost is props, motors, arms, antennas and batteries ect. The electronic bits add up quick. Planes are cheaper and far less complex. That and the extended flight time are the only advantages in my opinion. Possibly nostalgia as well. I've been flying drones for years and haven't met a soul in my rural county who flies an fpv drone or ever seen an FPV drone fly around with my own eyes... Sad. I tried flying line of sight in the beginning, but it ended badly.

Given the aircraft looks about 6-8 feet lengthwise, and it was traveling half of it's span every frame, we can probably conclude that it was traveling between 3-4 feet per frame. Assuming the video rendered at 60fps, we would be looking at a plane going roughly 120 to 160 miles an hour.
