I was wondering about what should be the expected run time for something with a 600 size motor and a Great Planes Sanyo 1900SCR 6-Cell Thrust Pack, or would this even be a correct battery pack and motor matchup

Thanks for all the help.

I have a speed 600 8.4v w/ 8 cell 1700nicads and 2000 nimhs in a gentle lady glider. with throttle management I get about 20-25 mins ( 1700 nicad) and 30-40 mins(2000 nimh)of course that a glider. I have seen a EP Superstar ( Piper Cub type ) run with a 1900 pack at full throttle( SP600 7.2v) for only 5-6 mins, with throttle management you should get 10-11 mins. All depends on the plane type. Also weight, prop size and wing span is the key factor.

Kinda need to know more - prop? Plane? How do you want to fly it - full throttle all the time, soaring, or what?

Could be 3 minutes, could be 30.....
