Default Does my set-up need tweaking??

My concerns: 10 minutes flying / 6 hours charging.... I'm using 3 2s packs and I charge each pack seperately. I have a thunder Tiger 1-4 cell charger. They are 4000 mah packs, but the charger faults at anything over 1.3 amps. Is this as high a rate as I can charge these packs? Also, the airplane flys ok when charged fully, but after a five minute flight, followed by a cool-down period, she won't ROG again.

Here's my set-up, any constructive ideas would be greatly appriciated.

Aircraft: Funtastic 3D 40

Prop: 12 X 6 APC E-prop

Motor: Mega 22/45/3 with a 1:2.5 gearbox

Batteries: Thunder Tiger 2s 4000 mah X 3 (6 cells)

ESC: Castle Phoenix 60

Servos: 4 Futaba S38 standard

Span: 50.4 inches

Area: 755 sq. inches

All Up Weight: 6 lbs. (including battery)

Performance is ok, but could be better....

Thanks, RCU.... Bill Vandenberg
