We all wanted to copy Richmond because he flew his for 31:54, no touch, which is substantially better than the next best no touch flight of about 30:30.

My first LPP was a Banks, and was substantially over 3100. I made an Alan Cohen style stick for it and, with my own smallish very twisty prop, it came out about 2980. With a Banks or Linardic prop it's over again, but not all that much. It still has its original wing which is showing some age, but I'll bring it along. It's never been flown in higher than a 25 ft site.
