Default Extending Flight Times

How does one optimize the set-up and selection of motor, ESC, batteries, and prop size to maximize flight times ??

Get one of the performance predictor programs (E-calc [my favorite] or Motorcalc or the freeware Drivvecalc [search RCU for download])

your looking for a low draw, High capacity set up... an example would be drawing 15 amps with 3200mah packs.. result would be probably 20 minutes of throttle.. throw in some gliding time for easy 30 minute flight..
