e-Lite Machines Corona > Corona duration/flight time

I am just building my Corona and I am thinking I should get the Mega 16-5-3 w/cc40 esc

What battery should I buy (non-lipo) that will give me the most flight time?

Later, I will upgrade to LiPo when I am a better pilot.

Thanks

You should get a 10-12 min flight time.

You mean a Mega 16-15-3?

I've had great success with the Elite 3600 from http://www.cheapbatterypacks.com

I'm was getting 12 minutes, but I had an heavier outrunner motor and an all-belt setup. With a Mega 16-15-3 and stock Corona you might push more time. Megas runs hot so get a GWS 400 series heatsink.

Oops

Yes, I meant a 16-15-3. Thanks for correcting me. Well, I've since changed my mind and I am buying a Hacker C40 motor now; for sure. So, what's a good battery for this now?

Thanks for the suggestions people,

Swatson144 posted this link on RCGroups. Seems interesting and might help some make the transition to lipos

3s1p 2000 mAH
They are only 8C so the corona is the only heli I have that they'll work in but 35$ for 2 If I don't like them in 3s1p I'll run them 3s2p that's a 4000mAH 3s 310g pack for 35$! I had to try them. I've had very good luck with the 1200 mAH packs I've bought from them for my micros, but never saw a "deal" on the bigger packs.


I'll probably try them as soon as I stop crashing so much.
