Thank you sounds very viable, last question do you know of a way to recharge the fight batteries on board, by using say a small generator or something else ?
Thank you for the suggestion i will go look into that, just want to confirm you say 1c so if the capacity of the geb battery is say 16000 mah, i cannot draw moer than 16 amps from it ? Preferably rechargebles as i'm planning to fly it frequently
3-4 hours or so i know it's along shot for an electirc motor setup, but there has to be a way ?
Josh,
Depending on useful payload weight and desired cruise speed, you can get up to 4 .5 hours with the standard Raptor E1 using GenAce Lipo batteries. It is the same setup we flew the solid hydrogen system earlier this year.

Thanks Josh, i'm looking for endurance, am busy sorting out the telemetry and i think i'll get that part going (if all goes as planned so holding thumbs), the biggest obstace would be endurance, for a plane that will weigh's between 12-15kg all up weight, i was thinking a123 cells, but would there be any other options, fuel cells i was quoted 20k euro for a fuel cell battery it is just beyond unaffordable
