my o/b kit that flew 18 hours and 6 minutes on Long Day 2014
this is so far the best time ever flown under the NTU rules in the Czech Republic (i.e. Czech record)
the o/b kit that flew 2 of my personal bests in 2013 for a particular fly weekend
i.e. 15 hours and 1 minute in April and 16 hours and 11 minutes in May
(one of these birds, the BB on the left 12-KCHT-9104, flew the Czech record of 18.06 in 2014)
the y/b kit that flew my y/b personal best of 15 hours and 15 minutes on July 21, 2012
(two of these birds, 12-KCHT-9109 and -9112, flew the Czech record of 18.06 in 2014)
I am holding the kit of o/b that flew the Czech record of 17 hours and 35 minutes on Long Day 2007
