What kind of flight time do you get on this?
It depends on how aggressive I am with the throttle and which props I'm using. If I'm flying very aggressively, 3 minutes on 1500mah 4s with the 6045x3, and maybe 4 minutes with 6040x2
But, I've flown/cruised upwards of 5-6 minutes on 4s 1500mah with 6040x2 and 6-8 minutes on 4s 2200mah with the 6045x3.
I think 5s 1800 would be the sweet spot. This baby comes alive on 5s
Oh damn, I thought you were asking about my Sköll build. Honestly, the 6" Æther is dead right now and needs to be rebuilt. I ran her hard for two weekends at the races - I never really did any long range / extended flights.
I'm guessing because of the stupid light weight, and 6"... you'd expect the flight times I posted above, plus a minute or two.

The QAV-CINE Freybott is a compact, lightweight cinematic FPV drone that can take a hit and keep going. It's a lot safer to fly indoors and around people. With a naked GoPro or the SMO 4k you can capture some great stabilized footage. In this guide I'll show you..
