Hello I have some Concerns
Flight time
Only 14mins with 5300 mah 3s, is it ok? standard for violet motors, long 28 arms, nothing else...
Unsteady flight and rool/pitch oscilations specially with some wind (yaw is perfect)
Its almost ok, but cCompared to my gaui330x, my quad does not flight when stabilized, keeping a "parallel horizontal plane", it does unwanted slight rolls and pitchs...
Is this caused by wrong PIDS in my sotck long frame? standard apm pids are for 23cm or 28cm arms ?or both.. what pid parameter should i change to achieve rock solid steady flight
thanks

How can I improve steady flights? change to shorter 23cm arms?
I am not sure of its weight, but on a the same airframe as you, same motors and props, complete with OSD Pro, gopro and fpv gear i get a calculated 8.5 minutes flight time on a 3s1p 2200 lipo, 7 minutes is what i normally fly to be safe. A single 2650 should would net me about 10 minutes calculated.
The extra weight of your second battery to me would not be worth the extra 4 or so minutes you get. I would probably consider a 4s1p pack before strapping on an additional battery.
On your PID's, try lowering your roll and pitch stabilize P term a bit. This will stop oscillations. If you get them in forward flight lower them a bit more till the oscillation is gone.
