hehe, if my girlfriend is a project, then i've been working on her for almost two years. somewhere the project went wrong though, because she managed to train me a lot faster than i could train her!

as for time and money, well i just quit my job so i have the time, but the money is always short!

sama, flight times with the 30mah cell can varry a lot depending on the weight of the model and its wing loading. you could build a lightweight plane with an oversized wing and it could fly for a long time on its lowest throttle setting. on the other hand, if you build smaller and heavier, you'll need more throttle to stay up so the flight times are shorter. i'd say at least 4-5 minutes should be expected though, but that can change a lot.
