flight time

I am looking to try my hand at foam board aircraft design so I can fly it over the summer and gain some experience. I have built a few of the FliteTest aircraft in the past so have some experience in building, but have never designed one myself, and am looking for interesting project ideas...

Hello, I have a Inductrix Blade that I have recently put a Super Mini 25mw VTX camera I got from FliteTest on. The install went good, but I have about half the airtime for the quad that I had before adding the camera. I use to get a good 3+ minutes just cruising around, now it less that 2...

I'm thinking about building a new multirotor this winter. I have a 3d printed 250 class tricopter I've been flying around for about a year, but I'd like to build something to get nice, gimbal stabilized video. I like the cost and flexibility of the electrohub, but I'm curious about flight...

Hi all. I'm starting a club for Junior High students. We will build Mini Speedsters and Mini Scouts. I would like to keep the planes light, so I am interested in using the smallest battery I can get. Using a Hextronic 20g 2300kV with a 5x3 prop, I'm expecting something like a 4.5amp...

Show Idea:How To: set ups & build for long flight duration/distance. SHOW IDEA... Tried editing headline. No go. Hello. I am a new viewer to test flight and have very quickly become an avid viewer. I am a noob to the rc world but have just bought (in the mail) my first quadcopter and am...

Hey, I've been working on tuning and getting my flame wheel 550 flying better. I'm an adventurer and tend to jump into things, so I added a cheep camera gimbal to the rig. When I get out in the air I can see right away that me video is more smooth. However that's the extent of the pros...

Just a quick question, so on my Sport Cub S BNF Trainer, the manual says to set a timer for 5-6 minutes before you come down. Now I'm pretty sure that's just a precaution just to be safe. I've seen on YouTube people fly for about 11 minutes with the Sport Cub S before coming down, so just how...

Hi I recently rebuilt my tricopter, which is an aluminium version of David Windestal's Tricopter, with a KK2.1 control board, a 20a Q-brain ESC, a turnigy 2200mah 3s battery, some dt750, 10x4.7 GWS props, and other accesories. I have done some calculations, and i should be getting about 6 mins...

Hi all, First post so be kind :D I have done a lot of research and read sooo many forums regarding multi rotors and so I have a good understanding of how they work, fly etc. but I now require to build my own for my senior design project. I am aiming to build a hexacopter with a flight time of...

I've been flying quadrotors for about a year now and recently tried to design one and build it up. I'm having a hell of a time with my estimated flight times. No matter what combination of motors and props, I can't get my average flight time over 7 minutes. My plan is to make a multirotor that...
