I believe I can fly for 30 minutes on my 24 oz. tank although I've never
stayed up that long.  That is with a 22x10 prop that turns about 7200 at
WOT.  Put those numbers in your static thrust calculator.  Pattern needs to
liberalize the rules so you can use engines like my DA 50.
Just trying to stir up a little controversy.
