I am interested in a Raptor 620 but was wondering what the best motor and battery combo is for the longest duration. I do not fly 3D, just some sport flying. I am wanting to use the airframe for a scale heli and just want the MAX flight time. Thanks for the help!

Cut your headspeed down to the minimum you can get away with. See this chart

I use
Z-Power Z50A-800 motor
Castle 85HV ESC
2 Flightpower EVO 25 5s 5000mah packs wired in series to make 10s
I fly sport and this setup gives me 13 sport flying and 16 minutes of hovering. Putting 4000mah back in the packs. I love my Flightpower packs!!! The new EVO 25 packs run really cold.
