What 55cc engine do you have?
My 3W55CS is spinning a Falcon 24x8 CF Prop and I only have a 500ml tank installed. Flying a typical Sportsman routine takes about 12 min. After I land I still have half a tank or more!
You have a 750cc tank whih is the same as a 750ml tank so you have1'3 more fuel on board then I do and you are burning through that in 10 minutes?
Uuuummmmm There is this thing onyour radio called a THROTLE stick! USE IT!
Seriously though you must have a fuel leek or something.
But the rules are quite clear that the Round is not complete untill two full sequence have been flown, back to back. The only deviation from this is if you have a deadstick during the first sequence then you are allowed to attmpt the second sequence once you have figured out what happened. Typically the CD will shift you to the end of the order to give you time to resolve whatever issues you had with your plane/motor.
