15 hours. It's specified in the Radio documentation.

Also, the battery that comes with that radio is 600 mAh, and the carger supplies 50mA. 600 / 50 + 25% = 15 hours.

thank you very much... now i epoxyed the wing and i decided to see if the ailerons were centered so i pluged in everything turned it on started moving the stick left to right.... when i move the aieleron stick to the extreme left then move it to center then move it about 25% to the right the wing makes a loud POP!

everything seems to work right on the plane ailerons seem to move ok... what is this annoying POP noise? can it be fixed? thank you...

Could be that some glue got lodged between the wing and the aileron when the hinges were glued or the torque rod epoxied.

Disconnect the servo push rods and work the ailerons gently back and forth. Take a look inside the gaps and see if there's some glue or epoxy between the surfaces. If there is, take a hobby knife (exacto or similar), and carefully clear the space between the two.

Be careful not to cut the hinges themselves. They look like thin pieces of paper between the aileron and the wing.

If you cant see anything inhibiting the aileron and can't reproduce the sound without the push-rods attached, make sure you aren't putting in too much control deflection. Double check the directions for the holes to use on the servo arms and control horns.

Thanks so much.... i invesigated the problem and what i found is troubling.... the wing is firmly epoxyed and what the problem is... is that the alignment pin is a little to long thus causing interference with the right rod where its bent for the control arm... its moves freely just has a little friction on the pin... i bent the control arm a little bit and now it doesnt POP it just grinds a little bit... i was thinking about putting a very small endmill on the dremel and cutting the pin down but... am kinda scared to do it.... i think i will just leave it how it is... FOR EVERYONE GETTING AN AVISTAR!!! MEASURE THE WING JOINER ROD (should be 13 1/2") AND ASSEMBLE THE WING AND CHECK THE CONTROL SURFACES WITH THE SERVO TURNED ON TO MAKE SURE THE ALIGNMENT PIN DOESNT NEED TO BE CUT DOWN.... THEN DO THE EPOXY
