Basically I have found HK recommended items work as they should, so I would just go with what they suggest. Bottom line is do the motor props give more thrust than weight of completed copter. After that your into this item is better than that item.

how about the efficiency and probably flight time? since im just beginner. i really'd like to have it fly longer.. and try/train acro... larger battery adds weight and flight time.... I wonder if I want loger acro time.. should I get large batt or several, say 1500, for change?


thank you

I wouldnt worry about long flight times to start with you will find a couple of minutes a long time when starting it out. It is unlikely that you will power up your copter and be in a stable hover at first try, you will more than likely need to go through trimming process. Have a search for, cant take off, or get into hover, quad flips on power, noob need help that sort of theng threads how to go about setting your quad up is in there.
