By the time you get in air the battery would hardly have enough power. Try to increase the capacity to atleast 3000mah+

Tanmay in my opinion you ll get a flight time of around 2.5 to 3 Mins. Use atleast 2200mah so that u ll get flight time of around 5 mins.

1250 is way to less...wont last a min or two.....1300mAh are usually prefferd for 250 quads
Go for atleast 2200mAh

Solar cells wont produce such amount of current unless u have resources from NASA
add another 1250 lipo in parallel
Also somehow even if u manage to get such amount of current from solarcells....the cells weight will anchor it to the ground

at the cost of solar cells from nasa you can get a full truck load of batteries.  so just get some bigger size battery like at least 2200mah

A 2200 mah can give you around 10mins of time and more if you reduce the weight to 700g. 900 is way too high. A 1200 can heat up unless its 40c or more.

2500 mah 
how much that'll give with a 700gm quad ??


Title: Re: Quad flight time question

first of all u need to know how much current the motor consumes for a given prop set... either do some thrust tests or search online for spec sheet of your motor


Title: Re: Quad flight time question
Post by: miginstruments on January 29, 2016, 06:44:35 PM
2500mah with 1045, ll give approx 6mins of flight time. Again actual output depends on what amount of power your motors consumes. But to be safer side 5-6 mins.

If you have your specs decided I wonder weather you use ecalc.ch

It should answer all your questions and even help you decide the upgrade.

Happy Flying
