RE: Looking to get started
everyone wants longer flight times... even me.. the simple fact is... LiPo run down... to get more flight time, buy more batteries...with that heli you'd be looking at 5-7 minutes (depending on motor and gearing) mine I can currently get 6 minutes on 2200mah packs.. 3300mah packs would get me 7 minutes.. I did swap my motor for a Z20a-980 and changed my gearing to a 14T pinion and 50T primary.. if I dropped my head speed even lower, I could extend that to 10+ minutes.. but it would be a very very slow 10 minutes
at these flight times, I find it's plenty long and give my electronic a chance to cool down and me a chance to breathe (must remember to breathe while flying)
