I'm trying to see what realistic flight time everyone is building their quads to?
On a mini-quad, the battery weight is ~40-50% of the AUW.
For reference on my sub-250g build with a 3s 850mah, I get about ~6min of "easy flying", to a 3.5v shutdown.
thanks,

If I just potter about I can get maybe 4 to 5 minutes tops. But, my quads are all around the mid to high 500gram mark with Lipo and HD cam onboard. • Posts: 5,315 Threads: 672 Likes Received: 3,155 in 1,743 posts Likes Given: 2,030 Joined: Jan 2016 Reputation: 139 09-Apr-2016, 12:33 PM (This post was last modified: 09-Apr-2016, 12:33 PM by Oscar.)

Yeah, they told me afterwards you are supposed to go for the BIG hole, not the small ones. What challenge is there in that?
