1437.0. "endurance record" by TARKIN::MCALLEN () Mon Jun 22 1992 20:27

    I understand a new RC model powered-flight endurance
    record was established, during the last month or so.
    Something on the order of 24 or 28 hours?
    
    I believe this was achieved in Maryland. The pilot was
    able to catch some sleep, because the plane was equipped
    to automatically circle a ground radio beacon and
    maintain altitude. Apparently the model also had a
    telemetery link of some kind.
    
    Anyone heard about this? Please give pointers to any
    magazine articles, etc.
