Just over 8 hours. Our club helped out Gary Itner while he was flying his own design Little Pigeon, a ~16 ft XC model, at the SFVSF club field in Northridge, California in 1982. We were doing thermal duration record attempts and Gary got a good one that day. I think I set a 2-meter record that day too. His famous line at the end of the flight was (TIC), "here's another day when I come to the flying field and only get one flight in." ;-) Norm PBSS Ex-SFVSF

So far the longest I've seen posted is 5 hours. Thanks, Bill Johns RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
