Indy 250 mini quad

[cootertwo]

Hi all, I just threw one of these together, with parts I had laying around. Some cheap 1806/2300 motors, Afro 12 amp esc's, and a naze 32 (no baro or compass version). And it flys really neat! And it is real carbon fiber too. 282 grams complete without battery, 452 with an old original Phantom 2200 mah battery. I'll get a video first chance. Also got my Beetle hex frame today, and will start building it soon. Having a ball!

Got the beetle hex assembled, with 2204/2300 motors, afro 12A ESC's, and I stuck a Naza Lite on it for giggles (easy flying) 710 grams total weight, with battery.
"BUT" I'm not getting more than 5/6 minutes flight time, with a brand new Pulse 2250 65C battery. I'm guessing that's about all I can expect with 6 motors..... Right? I played with e-calc, and it verify's my suspicions. The six motors sound really neat, but eat up the power. Any suggestions?
