I know that Mentor (and maybe Centerville) were upwards of 2:50-2:55 at WLS a few weeks ago on a ceiling less than half of MIT's
That's very impressive!!! I predict there will be some more 3 minutes wonders as we get closer to Nationals.

It's tough. Requires a lot of time. I'm almost there, but if I can, you certainly can get it :lol: .I can not stress how important flight logs are. They serve an important purpose!!!

1st place in New Jersey was 2:58 in a 25 ft ceiling. However there was a decent amount of draft which stopped helicopters from reaching their max times.

2 minute chinook with all bonuses was probably necessary to medal. I hear a team got over 3 minutes with a chinook.
3 minutes raw time?

Was Ward's 2018 heli based off Dave's FF model? I haven't seen very many competitive models that weren't similar to his.

Pretty sure all the top placings at MIT were all using Freedom Flight.
