RE: Battery life problem
well then i would check the voltage on the battery to see if was close to what you started out with before the 30 sec. hover and if it is i would suspect a bad esc or motor. maybe check the length of the motor mount screws and make sure they aren't causing a short or rubbing on the windings inside the motor. i have never heard of the brand of motor or esc you are using so i'm not familiar with them at all.
