Jumping up and down too frequently during hover

Yes, the brushless setup will draw down a battery quickly...try reducing TC and PC, you might gain a minute or so

I found that the Oversky 300mAh 45C gave 3 minutes at best

Yeah... Probably too much power conversion loss on the dual esc....
I can get 7 minutes on a brushed v1.

If you are using the PnP motor connectors, keep an eye on them if you have a crash or a hard landing...they come out of the socket easily...

Not so much a power loss...the outrunner motors just eat up a lot of power

Eliminating the PnP connectors will increase power, but it makes it harder to swap the frame if needed...with bigger blades, power should not be an issue

I soldiered the wires to reduce resistance.
