Flight Time Record?

[pmshop]

Has anyone been posting record flight times?
Got 26 minutes 10 seconds this morning experimenting - hovering for timed photos to convert to a time lapse.
200AGL zero wind
Ran the battery to 9%

Most I ever got on my very first hover with new battery was 24.8 minutes running it down till it would not stay in the air any longer (holding the throttle stick up).

That is what I usually get.
But it was a little cooler that morning.
And, I had just hit critical battery land failsafe

Apparently hovering uses more battery than forwards flight. A good test might be to fly out and back over a football field to simulate battery length in normal use while keeping the drone within eyesight over a safe, level landing area when the battery poops out.
