RE: How Much Time?
600mAh ( the standard OEM pack) should give you at least three 15 minute flights plus ground time and pit time. Could be less depending on how free and smooth your control surfaces and linkage move and the age and prior treatment of the battery. Sometimes you get more off a standard pack.
An ESV (expanded scale voltmeter) or even a VoltWatch are handy in keeping tabs on how the battery is doing.
