Status: offline 		i bought a novus fp off of ebay it has high performance blades on it and the battery only gives it like 3mins of enough power to get real lift. the battery will last for over 10mins before dead but only 3 useable mins of flight. i dont know if its something to do with the blades or the battery any help would be great

Status: offline 		you CANNOT run a Lipo battery until it is "dead". this will ruin it, and it will not re-charge (or will not re-charge correctly. a lipo battery must not be discharged below 3.2 v per cell. I never fly my helis more than 4 - 5 minutes. Then I let the moter cool for a few, and put in a fresh battery.

Status: offline 		well when i mean dead i mean the heli cuts off power to the blades i pretty sure the heli has a cut off at 3.2v so you dont ruin the battery

Status: offline 		Wrong!!! I hae an FP125, and you can run the battery completely down to below 3.2 v. You should invest in a lipo monitor, and time your flights.
