Hi there, introducing myself! and embarking on my first build and have bought some motors that were cheap, http://www.giantshark.co.uk/product/171775/c3536-09-kv910
so i decided to build around these, i bought some 70amp ESCs to go with them: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__7340__hobbyking_ss_series_60_70a_esc.html
....I then found the calculator :http://www.ecalc.ch/xcoptercalc.htm and have been playing around with it to find a suitable battery/prop combination. But i cant seem to find any combinations that give me flight times of more than 10 minutes of hover and much less of normal flight.
anyway onto the question(s). am i approaching this in the right way? is the calculator an accurate model? what flight times should i be reasonably expecting, considering that my build will be aimed toward efficiency and flight time rather than maneuverability? Basically any advice on battery/motor/prop combos for efficient flight would be most welcome.
Thanks in advanced!
