RE: battery run time
Formula for Run Time
run time in minutes = (Battery Capacity in Ah/Motor Current in A) x 60
For this example:
Battery Capacity is 8000 mAh = 8 Ah
Motor Current = 65A
Therefore:
run time in minutes = (8 Ah/65 A) x 60 = 7.38 minutes
This assumes that you run at full throttle and can drain the battery completely. In practice, before the battery is completely drained, the power will have decreased to the point that the plane will no longer stay in the air.
