Default RE: Hover 3 packs before flying?

Darticus,

I agree with both Mrsamm and Aero Dave, it's not an endurance test. It's suppose to be fun. If 3 or 4 minutes is all you can do, that's fine. As mentioned, the better you get the less stressful on the old brain and you'll be able to fly for 10 or 15 minutes at a time. I'd guaranty, that right now, if you tried to fly for 45 minutes non-stop, your brain would burn up before the motors.

Just take your time and take a break every so often, just have fun with the heli..

Does this mean hover for the full 15 mins on each of 3 packs 45 mins in a row without landing? That what I'm trying and it tough but doable with the CP Pro. I find after 3-4 mins I need a break and let her down. Ron
