Thats a 6S lipos pack, and you would get max-sport flying,6-7 minutes. 3D- about 4.

Thanks. Thats what I have and thats the flight times. Cant wait for a bigger battery to come out for a 10 min flight time

There are 5S 5000 packs. even 5350's.
Youc an get longer flight times by running a softer motor and a lower headspeed. Also using throttle curves instead of a governor will give you more flight time. Doing anything to make the heli lighter will help too.

This is third hand, so I wish I could give you more details, but a local hobby shop owner said he and an aerial photography guy worked up to 10-12 minute flights on a trex 600e just by lowering the headspeed as much as possible and increasing the pitch to just the right amount where you don't get bogged.
I think that you could sport fly with that setup, but I don't think you'd want to risk doing much aerobatic or 3d stuff with that low headspeed...

IT you want longer flight times. You'll have to build it that way From the blades down. Everything as efficient as possible.

Yes the FP EvoLite 5350mah pack along with a smaller pinion that would give you a max HS of about 1700 would easily give you 10mins of gentle flying around.
Eat, sleep, 3D, crash, repair, repeat...

I have an Air Thunder 6s 5000mah packs and with a 10T pinion and a HS 1750 5 minutes of flying around (no aerobatics) uses 1900mah so plenty of spare
There I was inverted nothing on the clock but the makers name and only the joystick in my hand
Go up to 12 cell My E-50 titan fed by 12S lipo (2X6S2500MAH) flies @2200RPM for 9 mins and only takes 1800MAH and you can throw anything at it. Won't bog no matter how hard you try I think even going to shaft drive from the belt will make it more efficient as well.
