Default 500 setups running times etc with castle graphs

ok im thinking my batts are still in good shape this is third season on them im running flybarred, tt, hyperion hs3026-1400 motor with 16t pinion castle phoenix ice 75, turnigy 2200 40c 6s puffy, settings in ice headspeed change 5,motor timing 7 pwm 16khz,motor cutoff soft at 3.1 v,bec voltage custom 5.8 v. logged 3 packs first 2 were slower circuits some piros some soft climbs hover orientations, never hit lvc logged times about 45 seconds downtime or plug in batt attatch canopy remove canopy unplug out of 379 sec or 6.31 minutes. so about 5 min 45 sec . second flight pretty much same as 1st. 3rd flight really getting into it did a flip but was starting to get darker out so i decided to keep it a bit closer and lower. not really into 3d . on second pic you can see in middle where i did a flip. third flight was 394 seconds long. ripple is iffy but does anyone really know what them numbers are? other than that max temps look good nothing over 70 c. if anyone else has longer runs on fff can you post setups?? and im thinking i could go with a bit bigger mah batt but i wont worry until i buy new. thanks

Running a 500 FBL , I run Turnigy 3000 and 3300's Running a 16 tooth on my scorpion 1600kv with castle ICE 75 Im running goverened at 2850 headspeed. getting 4:40 second flight times and my packs come down at storage charge.

I've never put back in more than 1300mah after a flight. I could go longer honestly but 5 mins is enough for me.

nice how tight under the hood are the 3000 and 3300?? i believe i would have a bit more space in a fuselage i could be wrong though. i should try setting the govern speed on mine im sure i could get longer times myself.

I run a larger Fusuno EX canopy. Battery fit is no problem at all.
