Default RE: Whats the formula for figuring flight time?

That much makes sense and can figure that out. I was wanting to know how to figure what size pack in mah to use for an Eflite 60. For example: To get 7-10 min. flying time would I use a 3000, 5000 etc. mah pack. This is what I'm trying to learn about.
I know the voltage, cells, watts etc that the motor uses but how about mah. for run time. How many mah will give me 8 min +/- a few of flying time. I dont want to by an 18v 2000mah pack and find out I can take off, do a loop and then have to land right away.
That wouldnt be any fun.
