The 7 in 1 does record the peaks.  It';s the one I use

SOLD! 

Well the only way around it is to buy extensions, go lower kv motors, bigger props...or stand closer to the target

Don';t know if 3s is viable for bigger props though? Suppose you';d have to look at thrust/amps used?

I know motor efficiency will make a massive difference on your flight times, it';s just looking at the sums.

Yeah, I';m at the point now where if I want a drastic difference I think I';m going to just need to go for a fresh build, be it second hand or new. For now I think I';m just going to have to see what I can do with what I have, potentially trying these multi-star batteries if my amp draw looks suitable. (I';m guessing second hand LiPo';s don';t really go for much? :p)

You';ll get away with bigger props if you reduce the pitch. The result should be less climb rate but more efficiency in a hover. Plus those CF T-Motor props have a lot less drag than most props, they really are excellent and very efficient.

Hmm, next time I';m in need of props I';ll look at the CF T-Motor ones as you';re not the first person to recommend them!

Thanks all for all your help!

Based on the 8 mins your getting with your current Lipo your averaging 28.8 amps.   If you have 30amp esc';s then the most you could draw is 180amps.  That battery will easily do 252 amps and 504 amps bust so it is well inside what you could ever demand.

Best thing to do would be to put a dummy weight of 300g on your copter and test how it flys.
