If your charger shows how much maH/energy put back during charge, you can estimate your flying time. The rule of thumb for lipo is never discharged more than 80% of its rated capacity and never allow any cell go below 3V underload.

Sorry for off topic guys

You made a good point before: "But once you past the beginner's crashing stage, these helis are wonderful."

I SO AGREE!!

You know, at the start I was easily convinced that the 22E was a *crap* helicopter. I blamed my novice experience on the poor helicopter when really the 22E is not crap but just a bit touchy. It's such a light small helicopter and you just cannot expect any relaxed, sluggish movements from it. Flying the 22E will improve your fine-motor skills and reaction times!!

I'm yet to see how the Belt CP goes - my spare parts should be here by the weekend (hopefully).

Tom

Status: offline 		consultjdm... here are the specs of the spektrum digital servo...
model: DSP75 programmable digital sub-micro servo
type : Digital Programmable
Torque: 19 oz/in @ 4.8 volts
Speed : .11 sec/60 deg @4.8 volts
Dimensions : .90x .45x .94 (23x12x24MM)
weight : .26 oz (7.5g)
voltage range 4.8v - 6.0V
motor type : coreless
connector type : universal

My first choice would have been the original, but I can't wait 2-3 weeks for delivery.2nd choice was e-flite servo, but he didn't have any.. this was the closest I could find.. Working well so far, have about 10 packs thru it and no difference in flight performance.. I understand what you are saying, but shoot me for saying this, ( it was a chance I was willing to take)
Flew again this morning and I was very happy with overall flight.. I stopped after the 2nd battery because the motor was getting a little hot..I got the new motor yesterday from china as well as a new canopy and aluminum head... I still can't believe how fast it showed up.. I ordered on 4/29 and arrived 5/5.. it would have arrived 5/3 but I wasn't home...LOL ordered from Hobby wing..Hooby is the same company...

Thanks,

its great when it works and I am glad it is working for you. I think you know my comments were more about warning people of just buying stuff that they weren't sure worked with their heli. It could frustrate them to tears.

Status: offline 		Oh I agree 100%.. like I said, If I could, I would have the original ones in there, but I couldn't wait for them to show up... So far, so good.. just got the rest of my overseas order in today.. a few more CF look blades.. I don't know whats going on over there in china, but the last two orders took less than 1 week... I am waiting for some r/c car parts from Texas, over 10 days now.. go figure...

Status: offline 		I have the metal head for some time, the plastic head works so well that I didn't bother to use it, not 100% +ve feedback from other users. I dinged one pair of the fake carbon blades that came with the metal head already.
