the problem I am facing is that on 8S 3000Mah I get just enough airspeed to keep it in the air and decent 4min flights, with 10S 3000MAH speed is satisfactory but can only get 90 sec to 2min flights out of the batteries if I go any higher Mah it might be too heavy. Thanks
@BandyAir 8s 5000mAh (2x4s). Plenty fast enough for me. I guess you've seen my vids? Pushed mine a bit long on the second flight at 6 mins mixed throttle. A little heavy, and flys nice at around 70% for straight and level. Less throttle than that and the AoA is noticable. Cheers.
Ok that explains why mine is slower on 8S.

Thanks a lot. I will get some 5000mah batts. What KV is your motor? mine is only 1200kv

@BandyAir Mine's a HET 700 1400kv setup from Extreme RC. 100A ESC. Pulls around 90A initially.

Lost mine recently due to assymetric LE flap close to ground :(

@dro56595 Yeah.. after this incident on the video I disconnected them. Been flying trouble free since. Would hate to lose this plane.

@dro56595 What setup did you use on yours?
