On the 7th of September, 2011, at GMAC, Anthony Mott successfully broke the Australian Record for RC electric powered aircraft.

This may in fact be a World Record. We are awaiting confirmation from the F.A.I.

The flight commenced just after 8am.

Total flight time was 6 hours, 55 minutes and 28 seconds.

Another outstanding achievement by Anthony.

Congratulations Anthony.
