Flight time depends on your batteries and throttle management. 5-10 minutes is a fair time in the air, believe it or not. I only get about 10-12 min on one of my glow powered ships...which still have batteries that have to be charged every couple of hours (for the reciever and transmitter). With 3 battery packs and a quick field charger, you can fly until your heat is content. If you have questions about batteries, check out the forum at this site...there is a GREAT link over there to Red's battery page.

BTW, just cause it is eletric does not mean it is less expensive.
