TIMING OF A Speed flight is the act that tells us how our model
performed. Today, many good digital stopwatches are available
that range from those built into a wristwatch to ones with special
functions. A few allow split timing so that a single lap can be
timed while the whole flight is being timed. When the flight is
completed, the time still needs to be converted to mph to
determine how well it went.
