Thank you, Lee san,
The 101 sec model was desgined, built and flown by M, Ishii himself.
After FAI has changed the rules a few years ago, I entirly stopped building
HLGs.

I have to consult with Ishii about that, because our English is soooo poor!
We have drawings, but it is so difficult to write articles and comments.

Current category 2&3 world record models were designed and built by Danjo
and flown by Ishii.
(Current cat1 Japan national record (47sec) model was so, too.)
Cat2 model was HLG and cat3 model was TLG (DLG).
Cat2 world record flight is put on YouTube.
Previous cat3 world record model was built and flown by Ishii himself, and
it was TLG.
Both previous and current cat4 world record models were built and flown by
Ishii.

Good flying, Aki
