I am using the recommended motor and 3S pack. It will hover about 70% throttle. I think I have to much prop with the 13X8. Have not tried the 13x7 yet. This combo is plenty strong but I only get 5-6 minutes of flight. It only sees full power 5% of the time. the rest is half or less. I really thought I would get better flight times, but this is my first electric. I may be expecting to much.
