I use 600 mah 4.8v batteries in my piper cub with S3004 servos and get 7 flights out of it with a 10 tank and a .46 ax engine and still have some charge left over in it when i head home.

I only use a wall charger that puts out 50 ma to charge it up a good 18 hrs before flying.
That sounds about right to me too.

With a 1200mAh pack on a Modeltech Extra 300 I flew 16, 10-14+ minute flights one day before calling it quits, and the meter indicated I could still fly another 3 or more.

I see many here say that the smaller packs are only good for 3-4 flights, but I've never gotten such a low amount of time out of them.
