He's a big unit so has to be pushing a lot of air out of the way and that in turn means the energy / calorie requirements are high which then means you're gonna struggle to fuel for the duration even if he was able to maintain the power. Good on him for having a crack at it and raising a bunch of dosh for Masaka
