Go Beyond Limits with Long Distance RC Aircraft
Are you tired of losing signal halfway through your flight? Looking for a long range RC airplane that can truly deliver performance over extended distances? Whether you’re an enthusiast pushing boundaries or a professional needing reliable control in the field, our long distance RC planes are engineered to go the distance.
Why Range Matters — And How to Overcome Its Challenges
When flying beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS), range and signal integrity become mission-critical. Interference, terrain obstructions, and outdated systems can cause:
- Unexpected disconnections
- Poor video and data transmission
- Loss of control at critical moments
To solve these problems, modern long range RC aircraft are equipped with advanced datalink systems. These communication modules can provide:
- Stable long-range control (10km+ achievable based on the transmission power). For example CommuniNet MND-142 can reach 50km+, CommuniNet MND-1420 can reach 200km+, while CommuniNet MND-1440 can reach 300km+)
- Dual-band redundancy (e.g., 900MHz and 1.4GHz, or 600MHZ and 1.4GHz)
- Real-time telemetry and HD video feed
- Robust protection against interference and signal loss
With a reliable datalink, your aircraft isn’t just flying farther — it’s flying smarter and safer.
The Technology That Keeps You Connected
A true long distance RC plane is more than just aerodynamic design and powerful batteries. It needs reliable command and control.
That’s why our aircraft support:
- Digital RF systems with extended-range telemetry
- Encrypted links to maintain signal security
- Live low-latency video feedback with videolinks
- Integration with mission planning tools and GCS systems
Browse our products to find planes already equipped or fully compatible with UAV datalinks — so you’re never out of touch.

Frequently Asked Questions About Long Range RC Planes
What is considered a “long range” RC airplane?
A long range RC airplane generally refers to aircraft capable of flying beyond 5 kilometers (3+ miles). With high-quality datalinks and the right antenna setup, some UAVs can achieve up to 15–20 km of reliable control and video transmission.
How can I increase the range of my RC plane?
To extend your range safely:
- Use high-gain directional antennas
- Upgrade to long-range RC transmitters (900 MHz / 1.4 GHz)
- Install a datalink system for telemetry and video
- Ensure clear, interference-free airspace during operation
We offer these systems ready for plug-and-play with your aircraft.
Do long range RC planes support live video?
Yes, many models come with built-in FPV systems or support external video links for real-time HD video feeds, even at extended distances.
What is a datalink, and why is it essential?
A datalink is the communication bridge between your RC plane and your ground station or controller. It transmits:
- Command & control signals
- GPS position and telemetry
- Optional video streams
It’s essential for BVLOS operations and long-range stability.

Is it legal to fly long range RC aircraft?
Flying long range — especially beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) — may require regulatory approval in many countries. Always check your local drone laws and obtain proper permissions before flying long distances.
What aircraft do you recommend for long-range operations?
We recommend:
- Fixed-wing aircraft with endurance-optimized design
- Platforms with built-in telemetry and datalink support
- Drones designed for mapping, FPV, or surveillance
