Lately I've been getting around 15 to 18 minutes with the X5s attached. I'm also flying in temperatures between -20 and 15 degrees. With my Inspire 1, same conditions I was getting about 12 to 14 minutes of decent flying with the X3

It doesn't take very long for your fingers to get REALLY cold.. And yes we have about 4 to 5 feet of snow on the ground right now.

I'm usually getting around 20-21m flight time, but that's taking it down to around 13-15% and 1:30-2min remaining on the screen by the time it's landed. Did get a 23m by hovering at 50cm over landing pad when I was testing to see what it did

Those times are with X5S and for flights around 5C and in a mixture of light (still) & strong winds (yesterday it flew in 30mph+ - landing took a little while to get a nice even & light touch down!).

20 min wow.... i going to try again tomorrow... for hoover... hope can get around 20min with x5s

BTW, the 23min was from a normal flight with X5S but, after I got the low battery warning at 17%, brought it home and then just held in the air over the pad until about 45s remaining, then landed. Left props spinning, until they self-shutoff at 10%. I was trying to see if I could deep cycle the battery, but it won't go under 10% to protect the battery from over discharge unless still in the air.

20mins flight time seems to be around normal. I think DJI get the higher 25-27min times by setting all warnings to 10% and pushing the description of 'flight time'

Got 25 minute flight the other day to 10%.

SanCap · Jan 26, 2017

19.5 minutes @ 20% here is sunny southwest Florida.

PatrickP · Jan 26, 2017

at high altitude ~5300ft, broke in my first set of batteries, i flew down to 28% was just slightly over 18 minutes

20 min sounds right. I fly in Chicago during winter so I usually go inside because of temperature before battery. I got some touchscreen gloves from amazon prime now 10/10.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using InspirePilots mobile app

Henry care to share a link to those gloves? I need something to block out the wind in MN. I am very hesitant to put gloves on while flying but I can see if they are tight and touch screen they could be workable.
