Hello all-- I am new to electrics. I have the Alpha Corsair, and looking forward to getting it into the air (and hopefully back in one piece). Question---, as I have test run the thing, I am not getting much more than a min at half throttle. The set up is a speed 300, jeti 12 esc, and 8 cell 800mah battery. thanks

You have not asked a question. Do you mean why does it only run 1 Min? Well in the air it will run longer than it does on the ground because the plane is moving and there is less resistance then. Folks worry about flight times with electric but I never do because I use a 3 step solution to this problem: 1 Land Plane. 2 switch batteries 3 take off. Problem solved and you got a good practice at landing.
