At the 3:00 mark in this video, the total flight time ends up being 4 minutes (3 minutes of which is throttle use above 10%), landing at 3.79V per cell, on two Admiral 6s 4000mAh PRO batteries, so your 5000s should fly longer, assuming you're not trying to hover or break a speed record on your first flight (which you shouldn't be).
But as always, it is smarter to land too early and add time in 10-15 second groups on subsequent flights, rather than to land too late...

I know many of you know what you're doing but I wanted to point out a couple things I went over on my build. I estimate I spent about 45min building the jet and about 6hrs setting it up. I pulled the engines to check the fans, pulled the ESC's to solder bullets, and setup my radio system on the bench first before installing it in the plane. Make sure to set the elevator servo horn positions to the middle hole and set the manual recommended 1mm of nose UP neutral trim. Book rates seemed solid with 30% expo on elevator/aileron.
Can you please tell me if the retracts can be operated from the receiver, or they need the blue box?
Thank you,
Cristian

You need 11ch for everything I'm doing. Having everything on separate channels makes set up much easier and so that I can have tailerons, full span ailerons and flaps, crow and rudder air brakes.

Adding the second motor and separately doing the gear doors makes it 13. I'm doing the 11ch route to have every surface on it's own. If I end up doing TVs (still zip on date or price) I'll Y the rudders and steering to get the 3ch's the TVs need. That takes away my rudder air brakes.
