Haven't loaded mine to the limit but it currently weights just on 1.5 kg (3.3 lb) with all the FPV gear and flies fine on 3S with 10" Graupners.

i'm 1630g., 10x5, 4s, 3000 mah, 2814 motors, 8 minutes,,,,,, on 2215 dji motors was 10 minutes. dji max was 500 watts, 2814 hits 700 watts

when i first started out, 1600 on 3s seemed to be the max, it'd go at the ground half way into a flight and not stop, sucked. take the gopro off and whatever weight was lost was enough to make it fun to fly again.

3000 mAh 3S 20C gives me around 10 minutes constant FPV flying (forward movement with the occasional hover). When I recharge them, the charger generally shows the cells at around 3.78V each so I could probably get a few more minutes if I tried.
