3DR Y6 flight times

Posted by Garrick Merrill on February 2, 2014 at 8:56am

I'm curious what kind of flight times people are getting with a stock 3DR Y6?  We flew last week with a fairly light payload (Tarot T-2D and GoPro) with a 5400mAh battery (Thunder Power G8 Pro Lite), and only got about 12 minutes of flight time.

    How about upgraded y6 with bigger and better props, batteries, motors?  Anyone experiencing 20+ minute flights and care to share their knowledge and setup?

    Only 12 minutes? You're spinning 6 props all under 12", and carrying a gimbal and a gopro... That is very favorable. I think when you compare this to other flight times for gear under $2k, or not designed specifically for endurance flights, you'll find that is very good.
