Do you have a link to the detailed specifications of the model?

What happens after 5 to 7 minutes? Does the motor cut?

Which batteries are you using? How old are they? Have you checked individual cell voltage?

Looking at your set-up, the time seems reasonable

You have not specifically answered an important question: What happens after 5 to 7 minutes? Does the motor cut?

Note: If you use a larger battery, it could (a) not fit in your model and (b) adversely affect the flying characteristics as the heavier weight will put out your CG

Best option is buy one more batter :thumbsup: fly double the time.
