Cat I LPP flying

I've gotten interested in LPP flying again and that of course raises my sore spot of how to get anywhere near the 16 minute Cat I record. I've yet to see anyone else come anywhere close to the Cat I record. Not only that, the plans for Skipper are missing several important pieces of information which render the model effectively impossible to replicate (Prop pitch, airfoils, incidence).

 So where does one begin to go after this record? I've built a lot of LPP's and can see a reasonable way to get to 10 minutes, maybe even 11, but 16 seems completely impossible even with a peaked roof going up to 30' or so.
