Betcha you weren't using HS50's. With 4 HS50's I really do get 60 minutes, granted with little safety margin. With 2 HS50's there should be plenty of safety margin. I just worked my way up to 60 min by checking the mAh's left in the packs after every flying session. If your pack is more than 2 years old or not very freshly charged (<24hrs) then you will have to settle for less. My Sanyo 110's aren't mutants either - both my packs test at around 100 mAh on my cycler. This is in contrast to two 250 mAh Futaba (Sanyo?) packs that I have. One has always tested around 240 mAh, the other one is a mutant at around 350!
