Battery size for Flamewheel 450, Naza controller

[rcmike]

Hello Everyone. I have been using 3S packs for my quads but I just ordered a flamewheel 450 kit and am wondering if I would be better off going with 3S or 4S? What would be a good capacity? I am mainly looking for flight time since I will be using it for FPV. Just looking for opinions before I order more batteries.

no need for 4s as the added weight reduces flying time............I get 10 mins out off a 3s 2200 battery and 12 mins out of a 3s 2700 battery................it takes about a min to swap a battery so save your cash and stick with 3s.

Thanks for the quick reply. I was thinking of sticking with the 3S like I use now but figured I'd ask. I will stick to what I have probably then.

use the cash to buy some decent props (like graupners) as the DJI ones are rubbish.

Which ones would you recommend?

Graupners eletric props 10 x 5 (25x12.5) part number 1326 (you need two 10 x 5 and two 10 x 5L for CW and CCW yes they have the same part number but the letter 'L' after the size lets you know they are CCW)
can be bought from here but he has none in stock.........i have some on order

They are kinda flimsy compared to APC props I use on my RotorX-404. APC have anything for Flamewheel?
