e-E-Flite Blade CP CX 400-3D > Blade CP+ battery question

I have been using my blade every chance I get but the stock battery just doesn't offer a long enough flight time for me. I am only doing basic hovering right now, and in the future plan to only do forward flight and the like, no acrobatics. I was wondering what size batteries I should look into for a long flight time that won't have a large effect on hovering and forward flight. I noticed in the manual it says it can use 3 cell Li-Po battery packs from 860-1320mAh. Does that mean 1320 is the max I should ever use on the Blade? Or are they just saying that is a suggestion? I noticed someone on ebay selling their blade with a 2100 pack which is why I am asking. Just looking for a new pack that will offer me the longest flight times between charges since I normally only get 1 flight session a day before I need to charge and then go to work.

Also if I do choose the Li-Po route for a new battery I need to upgrade the main motor and use heat sinks on the main and tail motor correct? So I would be best off just buying the acrobatics kit and installing everything but the new blades? Thanks for reading and helping out =)

Thanks for the info, 30 mins doing acrobatics seems alot better than what I am getting now =) I am assuming just hovering and forward flight would make that even longer. Anyone else have any experience with larger packs?

A larger than 1320 should work just fine....
The "1320" is the capacity to store a charge.....
Just make sure the pack is 11.1 volts or less.....

1320 is about the largest weight wise you want carry

Just remember -- if the world didn't suck, we would fall off.
