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.

Nice battery but 2x the price of the Tensors

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

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.
