ElectroStik EP
 

I have the ElectroStick pland with the RimFire motor and the LiPo 3200mAh 11.1V 20C. I can only get 8 - 10 min flying time. Is this normal and how can I extend or add more flying time?

RE: ElectroStik EP
 

sounds about right in terms of flying time. 10 mins is actually pretty good. I get about 6-8 mins of light 3D flying in my models. I generally try to land after 7 mins.

You can increase battery capacity (will add weight to the battery) or use less throttle while flying to increase your time.

Ok thanks for the info, I though that was about right but just want to make sure. And you are right about the throttle back, I just got a full 10 min of flying.

You might try ordering a couple of 3S 4000Mah batteries; 25% greater capacity should translate into about 15% to 20% longer flights, after accounting for the bit of added weight.

An you get a bit more power too, as the packs will maintain more consistent voltage w/o dropping off as much towards the end.

Just order one online, thanks for the info.
