Low Cost Combat

Hi,
You may enjoy some of the ideas I got from posting this on the flying wing area a while back.

Since then, I have found a few other interesting airplanes that might be good for combat, or at least have ideas that may be applicable:

One Buck One Minute Delta with plans

Firefly mid motor delta with plans

Any other suggestions for simple combat planes that are sturdy, lower cost but have reasonably durable components and are easy to build and repair?

Hi,
How much flight time would you expect from a super simple design like this when flown hard like in combat?

See Post Number 9 of this link:

I recall reading about the Edge RC Pocket Combat Wing and how people were getting from 30 minutes to an hour with certain brushed motor and lipo battery combinations, while flying pretty hard. Would one of these low cost combat wings fly for a similar amount of time?
