I did see posts where people claim they can fly their quad copter 20-25 min, others just 7-8 min.
Which is the real flight time?
On my quad with setup below I have 7-8 min (alarm at 10v) . Can I fly more?
APM2.0 + telem
Quad H-Frame, 4 motors
Motor 1000kv (HK:D2830-11 1000kv)
Prop 10x6 (initially I did try 9x5)
Lipo: 1 x 3S, 2200MAh, 20C
Total weight with one single Lipo + GoPro + FPV gear: 1.3kg
Should I expect more time to fly? If yes, where should I gain? Different motor, prop, Lipo?
When I try 2 parallels LiPo (same internal resistance) (3S, 2200MAh, add 170g more), time was not real doubled. Is that normal?
I am using the eCalc and it give me almost the same time.
