E-Flite 120mAh V Flightmax 138mAh flight times.
I did a test between the two batteries and despite the smaller mAh rating of the E-Flite, the battery flies the heli for longer. I hit LVC with the E-Flite batteries consistently around the 6:00 min mark and 5:20 mark for the larger mAh Flightmax batteries.
I think I notice more pop with the Flightmax which would be odd considering the C rating works out to be 1.38A versus 1.68A of the E-Flite.
Anybody else experimenting?

RE: E-Flite 120mAh V Flightmax 138mAh flight times.
My tests were done on the new MSR and not an MCX. The stock E-Flite battery that comes with the MSR is rated at 120mAh where the MCX battery is rated at 110mAh.
I think that the MSR might be able to USE more power and therefore you might see more pop out of it versus the MCX.
I might have to try the Flightmax in my MCX and see how they stack up.
