Hey guys, well I've had my 52 for about three weeks, and I am pretty much satified with it. I am getting about 10min flight out of it. I have had no problems with the stock batery, I think the chargers that come with them are junk though. The stock charger takes about 15min to charge and my electifly charger set at 300 takes 45 mins and I get a lot longer flights out of it. A good batery is the 3 cell 300mha "20" from hobby lobby. This is my second walkera heli and both of them have no problems with the electronics, go figure. My servos do chatter a little though. I am not pleased with how fragile certin parts are. I started on a walkera #4 which you can almost fly straight into the ground with hardly any damage. I have gone through 2 sets of blades, flybar, main motor and landing gear. To solve the balance problem, I use velcro to hold the batery under the receiver/gyro. I completely removed the battery holder. I also drilled out the tail motor and tail boom clamp to fit 4mm (I think) carbon fiber tube so I don't have to pay 10 buck everytime I break one. All in all not a bad little chopper, it is a little twitchy but is pretty easy to controle.
