Full credit to Rick VdWielen in FB MI Group, he shared this formula how to roughly estimate your mini quad flight time:

Easist way to find your copter efficiency is by looking for motor thrust tests.

I'll have to push my 160 a bit more then. 3s - 950maH - 250g with average is (0.53 * 950 *7)/250 = 14 minutes! I wish the formula had a factor for flying style.

This is handy - thanks!
