Well... Sunday night around prime time there were 750+ people in the various areana's and only 1 person in the aVa, so I'd say its hit or miss even if someone posts a time.
And I'm not sure that the perception of "better sticks" is justified, I got into a 16 minute dogfight in either blue or orange the other day in my mossie against a 190D9. I've never been in a fight that long in the aVa, a fight is what you make of it and the chances for good fights prevail if your willing to look for them.
Just my .02 cents
