Aki-san,
However we describe your F1L record, it will be hard to beat. 68m is very high, and 32:22 is a very long time.
Your EZB time of 26:24 under 9m ceiling is crazy good. I hope you get the chance to fly it in a tall CAT IV site to see what it can do.
I think Y2K is not needed to build a .4g EZB. It helps to save perhaps .02g over OS film. So you can build a .42g EZB!
Instead of building a very light EZB, I have an idea to build a heavier EZB that is closer to F1L dimensions and strength but would weigh less than a F1L, say 0.9 to 1.0g. I believe such a heavy EZB can do well at Lakehurst. If I have time, I will try this heavy EZB at Lakehurst next year. For now, I will fly the lighter EZBs.
