If we catch a thermal we need to take care not to get in the way of full sized aircraft. The tailplane on an ASW27b is 2.3 metres about the size of a slope soarer, if your wings are the same size as a gliders taiklplane, you are nearly the same height, but please allow a large amount for errors. I took the pictures on the right of Ade's Dragon, the RH picture is about 100meteres away, the smaller one in the air, by simple math's I make the model in the air about 340 metres or 1110 feet
