For a beginner a non-CCPM or mCCPM machine is a little easier to set up because there will be no servo interaction with non-CCPM. Basically the difference it for pitch on the blades a tray moves in non-CCPM and 3 servos move at the same time in CCPM.

You will get 5-8 minutes for 200-300 cycles depending on the brand and charging you are doing.
