Default Improoving flight time on the Blade 400

Hi!

I currently own a Blade CP Pro and do mostly sports flying with the ocassional loop. I get about 15 min flying time with the stock setup. I do not have problems with this heli being difficult to fly, but what is bothering me is that it eats tail motors and the crappy FM Radio.


I have decided to sell my CP Pro and am considering a CP Pro 2 (if the new tail motor lasts longer) or a Blade 400.


My main concern is the 400 headspeed and battery life. I need a low headspeed on the heli to keep it safer in smaller spaces like my backyard. About the battery, I read that the 400 flies for 8 minute instead of 15 for the CP Pro.

How much can the flight time be increased in the Blade 400?

And how can I lower the headspeed to safer levels for sport flying (No 3D)?


Thanks
