How long can you fly per charge with a Piccolo FP ?
5-7 minutes with the stock NiMH battery?

With the stock motor, separate components (specs listed at bottom) and 3S LiPo batteries, 18 minutes.

Are you considering a Piccolo? We have the one listed below for sale (have to check with my brother for pricing)


Piccolo Fun
Stock brushed motor
Brushed main ESC (Pixie 7?)
Stock tail
Schulze high frequency tail ESC
Futaba gy240 head hold gyro
3s 1020mAh LiPo batteries

This setup gives 18 minutes of flight time. It is very well behaved, with the futaba head hold gyro.
