Ron, The record is 36 hours 3 minutes 19 seconds, set by Nick Shaw, in the UK, in September 2001.
The previous record, of over 33 hours, was set in 1983 in the USSR, and stood for almost 20 years. Prior to that the record was about 28 hours, set in 1978 in Australia. ****************************************** Ian Roach Kiama, NSW Australia [EMAIL PROTECTED] Phone: 61 2 4232 1775 ****************************************** ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ron Quintana" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, March 05, 2003 4:55 AM Subject: [RCSE] Re: Slope Duration Record As I recall, the worlds record, under a different set of FAI? rules, is something like 27-28 hours, set last year by a flyer in England, who used lights to fly through the night.
