[NSRCA-discussion] Distance measuring

[John Decker]

 Often times I have sent someone out into the field and had them find a place right under where I was crossing the center pole or the box ends and then used a range finder like Tim mentioned for golf to shoot how are out they are. While the center pole would be 150m the outer poles would be 190m and that at least tells you that you are flying parallel.

If you can get the damn thing to stay still then no problem 😊
 
I was just about to post the same thing.  Range finders $100 to several thousand but can be accurate to several thousand yards.  Just not sure about a moving target.

Try looking for a "Range-finder"...I use them for hunting and golf.  I've never tried to shoot a plane with one though.  I'm sure someone has...

Does anyone know of a handheld device that can measure the distance a model is flying from the pilot station?

I can’t seem to get the test to work, keeps randomly jumping from 1of 40 to maybe 28 of 40, then back to 1 of 40.  Scoring shows like 39 for ama and 37 for Fai  tried logging out, closing out of page, starting over. Same result, when I register for the certification it goes nowhere.  Somehow I need to 0 it out, any thoughts?--
