Hello all, this is my quadrocopter



the setup is:
750kv rctimer motors
12x4.5 props
25A turnigy escs
3s 2200mah and 5000mah lipos
White dragon kapteinkuk controller board

the motor to motor distance is 60cm and it weights 900gram(2200mah lipo), 1.2kg(with the 5000mah lipo) without the fpv equipment.

now i have some questions.

my flight time with the 2200mah is about 6-7minutes, with the 5000mah it's approx. 15 minutes, without the fpv equipment.i cannot use the big lipo when i have the fpv gear on it, it would be to heavy for my liking.how can i get more flight time without adding much weight? would it help if i go for the 10x4.5 prop and a 4s 2600mah battery??

i wanted to use my laptop as my fpv screen, but my friend said that the framerate would be really low, he said also that i should absolutely use an lcd screen or a fpv google for a better framerate, is that true?

and at last, is the kapteinkuk really enough for a fpv flight? or is it a must to get a better board(like the blackboard, multiwii or naviboard)?? my quad is very stable, if there is no wind i can let it hover like 10seconds without touching the tx, but i have no fpv experience.

I tried 1 time to record video with a videograbber onto a laptop.
This drains the battery very fast and is very VPU/HDD intensive.

Use a 7" LCD or even better for your experience - goggles with min 640*480 resolution or better
