Aeronavics / Droidworx Longest flight time from Lipos

[Palin]

Hi folks, I'm an Aeronavics newbie. Having flown our S900 for a while, we've just purchased a SkyJib X4 XL from Andy @ MultirotorUK.

We're looking at flying a GH4, 5D (on the M5) and a Red (on an M10). I'd be very interested in what dual flight packs you find offer the best flight times.

All depends on the aircraft but you will probably get best bang for you buck in the 10Ah 6s range (x2) 12AH may also work very well and the 16AHs are probably too heavy but it all depends on what motors props and escs you are using and the all up weight of the machine. Speak to Andy, he should be able to tell you the best battery for your particular setup.

Thanks Carapau. I really appreciate that. A hat tip to your work btw. I'm not sure of the weight as yet as I'm just awaiting delivery. We've gone for 17" props, U7 engines and 80T ESCs. I'm guessing that higher C packs would be in order for this combo?

With u5 16" and 2 max amps 6s 10900, i have 12-14 mn on my skyjib.

Sorry. Just spotted your post!

Been using Turnigy 6 cell nano tech 8.0, 10 mins flight time with full payload 5dmk3, with 20% left.

They look similar to mhttp://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__18210__Turnigy_nano_tech_8000mAh_6S_50C_Lipo_Pack.html

Always run to 20% never go below. this will ensure your batteries will have many flights.
I always charge them in flight pairs using Hyperion EOS720

This is a skyjib X8 with a zenmuse gh4. Around 8,5 kg.

Thanks guys. It's looking like I'll get the most flight time with my 16Ah packs then.

wow, you are spending a lot on batteries. How long do you reach with them?
