Hey Tony. I set the timer for 5 minutes of hard flying and still come down at between 30 and 40% or around 3.8 a cell. If I take it easy and just scale fly and stay in the pattern shooting landings I can safely get 8 minutes and have the same results. Super efficient!
Can you tell me the weight of the 5000 lipo and where did you place it, almost forward, middle? Is it possible to use heavier packs, Thank you

This is the one he uses in the video (Admiral 5000mah), if yours is 920g its almost double the 5000. What brand is that? Seems very heavy. The Admiral Specs are below,
Weight 482g / 1lb, 3.80oz Length 155mm / 6.10in Width 46mm / 1.81in Height 30.25mm /1 .19in Wire Gauge 12 ESC Connector XT60 Connector

Watching these two videos Ryan has his Admiral 5000's all the way forward. As you can see on the first video there is PLENTY of room to move a heavier battery aft if it's needed.
Watch this video at 00:00:52
FlightLine RC’s 1600mm wingspan Spitfire Mk.IXc is approximately 1/7 scale and an entirely larger beast with all the bells and whistles we’ve come to expect ...

hahaha LOL:):Cool:
In all seriousness though, you are correct in that it is not much over. I wasn't telling him he couldnt, just passing along the Admiral info. Apologies if it came across that way, Franky :spitfire

although the 5000 flighttimes are nice. I'm only doubting about the width cause idon't want to cut the foam. Anyway thanks for support.
