Hi guys!
In a couple of days i will grab a v8 kit for the first time and i would like to get some info from you about the lipo bat and the RX

First the lipo: wich one will be the best for a 15 min fly aprox
and second thing: i will take the XAircraft AutoPilot "Upgraded GPS Control System" and the cam mount CM130C-TPS for the gopro. So how many channels i need for my receiver, 7 or 9...i have the hitec aurora 9

tks !

Can't recommend on the battery's, but 2x the motors and esc's means more weight along with more power, so figure 2 batterys in parallel, say around 5000mah each should get you in the neighborhood of the flight time you want.

Go 9 channels, nice to have extras to turn on and off led's and such.

Here is a flight calculator you can figure out everything on;
