Virgin flight today, no crash!!!

After this flight, reentered the GPS offsets (x,y,z) and no more circles.
Maybe too heavy with a 5000mah 3s and zenmuse 3d2h w/go pro 3+ fpv.
Was at almost full throttle to recover from sinking flight.

Would a 3300mah 4s w/10" props be better?

Thanks Dave

Dave, I have a F450+Zen3d2h+GoPro3 with stock motors and 1038 props. I use a 6000mah 3S and for me it's a perfect battery size. I get about 12 minutes flight time with it.
In general I've heard that 4S batteries with 10" props can lead to overheating motors.

Now using 4s lipo and 1038 props, much better climb out than with 3s and motors don't get hot for me.
This multirotor is so easy to fly...... I now have 1 hour flight time.
