1/4A helicopter

What is a good time for 1/4A helicopter? During our regionals, I was able to achieve 20 to 29 second flights, which won, but I'm not sure it was because of a good time or not good competitive models.

Do you have any pictures? Sounds pretty good on such a small motor.

At Steel City Smoke Trails, winning flights in C and Team div were in the 25-32 seconds per round. This was under windy conditions.

At ECRM (many of the same competitors) winning C div was 87 and 34 sec.

Also, there was close to 50% failure rate at both contests for this event.

Thanks, Don. Have you had the A rocket glider event this year? If so, what was the winning times for it?
