jrotor,

What's it got in it now for a battery? Probably a 7-cell, 600mAh NiCd, right?

Upgrade to an 8-cell pack of CPB1150 cells from cheapbatterypacks.com. Total cost of about $20, with shipping. You'll do a little better than double your flight time, and increase your top end power by (8/7)^2, or about 30%. Total increase in weight is less than an ounce.
