My toy today is a 1972 Dodge with a 400hp heavily modified 340 V8.

>>25km

Dragonlink, Crossfire, or something else?

ELRS can easily go 25km for the radio link, and DJI O3 goes ~24km for the video.

For radio it basically doesn't make sense to use anything other than ELRS any more, it's years ahead from anything else.

Thanks, this gives me something to look into. I've been too busy the past few years to fly my long range planes and need to catch up on what's changed.

Oh you're going to love it! Feel free to email me if you want more info.

Is it legal to fly them out of LOS?

It depends on where you are and what license you have, but generally LOS is different from VLOS (one means there are no obstacles between you, the other means you can't see it).

Generally, there are limits to how far you can go, but you can get a license and file flight plans.

Oh that's neat. I always thought the limit for any kind of model plane is LOS and no exceptions. Have to look into this.
