Long lasting battery

Hi I'm looking for a rc drone that I can fly far (1 mi) and long lasting battery or life in the air (at least 1 hr 30 min) with a GPS system in it. Please help

  • I don't think you will get a battery powered RC Drone with that kind of endurance. Majority of the commercial available drones you get you will be lucky to get 30mins. Battery life is also dependent on the kind of environment you are going to use the drone in and also payload on the drone. If it is such short distance you might want to bring the drone back and then swap batteries and then let it go again to point of interest.

    • Yip even on a fixed wing craft (3DR Aero with a 4S 6000mAh pack) you only apparently get 40-45 minutes. 

      I'm not sure what will happen to flight times when you stick in a custom built, High mAh Panasonic NCT 18650 pack.

      Perhaps worth investigating if budget is not an issue.
