E5 flight times

[CapedVulture]

Can anyone tell me what the flight time would be on the E5 with 553mm blades and
500mah 6s setup.
Moderate 3D.

Trying to decide whether the Gaui X5 or E5 is the new bird to go for?
The X5 with smaller blades and quite a bit lighter will likely give longer flights?

Thanks

I am running 556 blades, and either a 4400 or 4500 mah at about 1800-1900 headspeed (slower than most others) and I can get an easy 6.5 minutes. I am just doing nice and slow forward flight, a few flips and rolls in there. I could go longer, but for my and my brain, that's quite long enough. I can bump up to 2100 and still get the same time with just a little more taken out of the packs.

I fly big air, fast 3d stuff. A bit of tick tocks but lots of high speed funnels and hurricanes. At 2500-2600rpm it screams. Powering it with 4400/5000/5300 6s, scorpion 4025-1100 with the 14t pinion. get about 3:15-3:30. She's a heavy one but flies like its on rails.

Edit: Flying with Edge 553 FBL's

Same here

What pinion/motors are you two running?

I'm running a Castle Vertigo 1175 with a 12t pinion.

My setup 630kv Scorpion running 12S at 2450 HS , this setup feels very light and flys incredible.

My current set up is 4100 7S packs with 556 blades running at 1900 RPM and I am getting 7 minutes of flying with packs ending at about 3.75 per cell.

Flying easy loops and flips kind of thing.

On my 6S powered E5 on 556 mains, I get a smidge over 4 minutes using 4400mah packs. Typically this brings me down to about 3.78 per cell. With 5000 packs, I'm usually in the 4:15 to 4:30 range.

This is flying old man 3D including piroloops, piroflips, hurricanes, rolling circles, piro funnels and that sorta thing. I'll throw in the occasional tic tocs, but in general I'm not trying to beat the heli into submission.

On mine with the YGE120lv scorp 4025-1100,,13t pinion 556 mains
A solid 5min on one 6s 5000mah pulse 45c!!! @ 23-24 ish hs
