editWell, either "The current world record is 19.46 seconds of flight at 0.2 m (7.9 in) altitude made by the Yuri I helicopter developed by Nihon University," or "Colin Gore flew the Gamera II at the Reckord Armory on the University of Maryland Campus for a duration of 35 seconds, setting a new world record for human powered helicopter flight duration," but it can't be both, right? The following bit about the 50-second flight is well-written in that it indicates the unofficial time must be submitted to and validated by the NAA, but if this applies to both times in this paragraph, the 35-second flight should not be referred to as a world record, or at least as an unofficial world record (superseded by another unofficial record the next day). I know nothing about the methods of verifying such records or I'd make the edit myself, but this is inconsistent right now. 96.238.148.17 (talk) 14:03, 4 July 2012 (UTC)
