I was looking for affordable propulsion to try, not something over 3x the expected cost of the kit. No offense, just not looking for overkill. I would guess that most guys are looking for the same thing. ~10-12 minute flights, a couple pattrens worth would be fine, with enough vertical to pull through the loops.
Exactly why I recommended it. The throttle stick is not an on/off switch.

I flew the 6x4 setup with a 2250 3S pack. Had a lazy 12-minute flight, a few rolls and loops, and never went past 50% throttle except about 3 seconds at takeoff.

And still had almost half my battery to go when I landed.
