In past years, Peter Treble if Flitetest[dot]com set multiple records for the widest RC Airplane, the most motors on a single airframe, and many more. Last July at Flite Fest 2023 he set the record for the longest RC airplane ever. He started with a 15-foot aircraft and then increased the length in stages for test flights until it was more than 30 feet long. He then put it into combat, where more than 100 airplanes took to the sky with one mission, to knock the giant foamie out of the sky! The aircraft lasted longer than anyone expected, even with the loss of wings and control surfaces. The aircraft ended up crashing in an epic way after being torn apart in the sky.
