There appears to be a problem with your link. I clicked it and got an error, I also copy and pasted it and got an error. 

Also, does the time stop at 0.0m/s or less than 1.0m/s? Many races stop the time at less then 1.0m/s since landing gear can be wobbly.

Okay, 5:36. 

I know I can do better but I thought I'd get the race going.

The rules say no more than 200m above the ground.  Something's fishy with the altimeter when you takeoff from the island... 

[ivanpanon]

Rule num. 6-  When finished 3 laps, go for island runwey...just touch and go (you can raise altitude going for island and back)

3:51 is the new score to beat. I bet a 3:00 time is possible but I doubt I have the skill to do it.

That landing was awesome.  You should get bonus points for a 360.

[ralanboyle]

Okay,

We need to define "land." Is ejecting allowed? What if we break some parts on landing but the command module survives? 

 

[ivanpanon]

OK...Landing
The Airplane must be intact, You can drift away from runwey but stay whole!
My best time is 3:51 and I can't do better...crashed so many times
