The flat field duration local record stands at 1 hour 9 minutes for this year by Sqeela with his Electric Shadow. on Minchinhampton common from 150 metre launch.
My AVA did a longer flight but was flown by 4 people 

This is for hand launched, bungee or one short motor run on a flat field without the use of slope lift

  Adam holds the HLG record at 14 minutes

The local height record for this year is held by Chris Bishop at 2953 feet attained at GMFC

Slope Flying & flat field
Monday
A very poor day, I took out one of my indoor models and found I had forgotten how to power fly

 

Tuesday
I went to Minch it was bad, my Shadow was disappearing  into the mist at 200 feet, the wind was coming from Tom Long's Post towards the Old Lodge, slightly down hill but there were odd patches of good air enough to have flown out a ten minute flight if i had been able to launch to 200 metres

The graph below shows to places were I gained height and I would have got higher if I had been able to follow the lift down wind

  
Wednesday

Another poor day the visibility a little better but very little lift

Thursday  

 

 Friday  
Saturday 

Sunday

A slight breeze on Rodborough with very poor lift
