What are you flying that will do this? I have flown lots of combat in many classes including 1/2a and they never last this long.

I flew some of the first SSC combat to the 2002 NATS when it was just to test the concept. The thought then was that the weight would keep the speed down which has not turned out to be the case. SSC has really changed since those days. I seldom fly combat these days because I got tired of building and I hated having a tach that we used every round. I still have some open B stuff around but I dismantled my SSC fleet. If I need a tach,I am not flying combat.

Oh yea, I still have a real Combat Pig from Harold Parker. I never fly it though.
