RC Electric Flight Time

Estimate realistic flight time, including a safety reserve. Always plan to land on a partial pack.

Battery capacity (mAh)Voltage / cell count

Average current (A)Average across the whole flight (full throttle, cruising, gliding mixed).Safety reserve (%)Recommended 20-30%. Never deep-discharge a LiPo.

ƒt [min] = (capacity_mAh × (1 − reserve%) / 1000) / I_avg × 60 · E [Wh] = capacity_Ah × V
