I have a good elapsed time for a double stir stick in low, but active wind conditions. 20 minutes. It took my charger 25 minutes to charge my defective(please don't ask)lipo for the SS. Duriing that time I flew the double stir stick mod almost constantly. Several hand grabs to check the status of the charge, and a couple of crashes due to my being cute and the wind. I never chased the plane more than 15' and launched from the crash site. Obviously I was not flying at full power the entire time, usually 50-70% power. I did not fly it until the esc shut it down. This a fairly new plane and obviously is trimmed out and performs well. Tim
