all depends on weather and wind speed and direction and wether it gets hawked or hits wires or clashes or heads straight for home

Think an idea of wind & other conditions on the day would be needed before a time could be given.

I thought we were talking within race season! 3-4 hours depending on wind. But this is bleedin Winter. Think even Blaz will pick decent days for training for his race end of December. Up here lucky if temp is in double figures.
