Hi Razor! , would you describe your motor/prop & ESC setup?  Total frame weight w/o battery & with battery ?  Its your battery new ? 

To give you an example of my setup:

Motors : Rc TImers 2830-14 750Kv

ESC: Turnigy Plush 30A ( same as HobbyWing 30A ) - Programmed for Nixx battery type and lipo alarm plugged in!

Props: EPP 10x4.5 SF

Battery: Turnigy 4.0 ( 4000mAh ) 4-cells (14.8v) 20-30C

Frame weight without Battery: Aprox. 550g

Frame weight with battery: Aprox 995g ( 1Kg rounded )

This setup gives me aprox  18 mins of flying around  and aprox. 22 min only hovering.

Thanks for the replies! Unfortunately I don't have a scale at the moment (or a watt meter), but here is my setup:

 

Motors: AC2830-358 (2830-12), 850Kv

ESCs: 3D Robotics 20 amp

Props: 10x4.5 SF

Battery: Turnigy 2200mah 3s 40C

 

After ~3 minutes of flying with a point and shoot camera, the pack read 11.7 volts.

 

Right now I'm thinking of just replacing the motors/escs with larger ones, then using a larger battery. (Maybe 4s?)
