Sorry on the units. units are g's. Larry Coslick's EZB is 0.333g.

Cardington, Aug, 1996
0.594g
Rubber Tan II, 1994 (pink) 13.5" x 0.7g


Please post even if you have incomplete information. I'm interested to compile these 30+ min EZB flights.

Here are a few others that I have seen:

Max Zaluska
31:17
Lakhurst
.434 g
7/97 rubber, .420g, 10.6" loop

Jim Richmond
31:54
USIC, Johnson City, June 2008
model weight?
rubber?

Jeff Hood (Jeff, please post your model and flight information!)

Steve Gardner

If you have incomplete information -- just post what you know and I'll try to dig up the rest.

Hopefully, this is interesting to many others.

Thanks!!

I remember reading here in an ancient post that Steve Gardner (I think) flew his 0.9 g EZB over 30 minutes. Finally, there is Akihiro Danjo's 1.2g F1L that holds the F1L WR at 32+.
