With the right birds and some luck when the BOP leaves you alone the 10 hr
mark is not that hard to achieve.

See, years ago I had tipplers that would not fly more than 7 hrs no matter
what I did. Davey even helped me with advice on feeding but still no 10 hrs.
So I got rid of them poor creatures and got different birds from Klacar who
flew that year the Austrian record of 18.55. I did not get the record kit
but it did not matter. The stock birds were good. That was in summer 2005.
Not only did I get breeders from him but also got an advice on how to
feed/prepare his line and, the following season, the time of 15.08 was there
with my Y/B kit without much extra effort except the time spent training
them.

What I am trying to say is this:
Get good birds from proven stock that is flown. Obey the advice on how to
pair them up, train and feed them from the previous owner
and you should be fine.
