1390kv? 5000 8s should be good for 4 minutes with throttle management.
that would be a great set up for the F-4

Ok Hugh good to know. I've been looking around for those SMC hiv packs,but on this side of the planet they are very hard to get.
I'll keep flying the Zee packs I have for now and hopefully soon SMC or a distributor will get some stock.
There are times when I envy you guys in the States, between free post deals with kits I read about at times, availability of parts it must be great being in a much larger country with a far bigger market to cater for compared to Australia and with good reason might I add.

"For me, the F4 gets squirrelly too far back and stalls easily," Not only the plane that gets squirrelly when the CG is a shade too far back Hugh! ..found that out when I had a loose battery strap. . Editing late afternoon...just back from first afterburner flights...excellent.....love it .

Hi Hugh, I think your right about the battery weight and this is why I haven't got a second set of batteries yet. I hadn't considered using high voltage packs it sounds like the way to go going off the results you've had.
I'll wait and read your comparison when you post it.
Thanks for posting :)

Originally posted by mrxw393 View PostHello all, wow there's a hell of of a lot to read here!! Some great information. As much as I love my 8s Phantom I would like to ask what sort of flight times are others getting?
I am using a pair of Zee 4s 7000 mah batteries that have done 8 flights and I'm just getting 3 minutes out of it. I am using some throttle management but I'm a bit surprised the flight time isn't a bit closer to 4 minutes. I noticed the flight times on post number 3771 and that really makes me wonder.
I would welcome any feedback, thanks.
I have several 8S EDF's that are outstanding but it's always a battle with trying to keep the weight down and take advantage of the extra power. You may want to try a lighter pack and see if that helps in any way. Just a thought, probably not worth much.

Tx LB….I hope I don’t focus on the tail too much and watch it disappear into the void!
