Hi Carl,

In AMA (United States model aviation governing body) age divisions, Senior is something like 16-18. Open is the equivelant of the FAI "Senior". It gets confusing.

16:14 was a once-in-a-lifetime Cat I flight. That kind of time rarely happens under Cat III!

I'd think that 8-10 minutes would be a great no-touch LPP Cat I time, but I'm just guessing.
