Help! Ez battery max MAH

[To_many_planes]

Hey guys, I built the Ez mini mini Guinea for the ez pack. The 150 mah battery on the ez pack provides me with about 5 minutes
Of fun before it can’t gain any altitude. What is about the maximum mah I can buy with a battery before it turns into a science project?

It is how much weight can the plane fly with , with out diminishing returns of a bigger battery for it to hall around.

5 minutes is about average imo, you might get away with 300mah

Yeah I know, I was just wondering if anyone knows the max that they can get away for most ez planes

I just ordered 5, 350 mah batteries that weigh 9 grams each. Probably could have gotten away with more.

5,300 mah should be enough! LOL. (I know 5x350mah)

That sounds like a challenge for me to get a connector to wire them in parallel…

It would be bigger!

It would be bigger!

I would need double the motors with a y splitter..

It all depends on the plane you're building, really. I have a range varying from 300 to 450, but I also want to get a few smaller ones to get some ultra-light birds... For me, the 450 seems to be the highest I'd go, but that doesn't mean you can't try higher...?

I was flying the FT EZ Hornet on v1 motors last night on a 300mAh and got a 9-minute flight (the plane weighs 33g before the battery is added, see below)


In my opinion, though, it's essential to get the v1 props and throw them away, as far away as possible. The v2 ones are night-and-day different in performance, and I've also experimented with a few other brands/types, to varying levels of success (and failure).
