Kurt,
It looks like this was a typo in INAV 95 where I got the info. Catapult
glider was reported in a format of minutes and seconds, but HLG was typed
as seconds. I'm guessing it should have also been minutes and seconds
(even though this isn't the standard format for gliders), so Bob's actual
time was 2:26.2, or 146.2 seconds. I'll change that site record for now,
and I'll need to go back through all of the old results to see if anyone
has done better than 146.2. Thanks for the tip.
Jake
