Does this mean hover for the full 15 mins on each of 3 packs 45 mins in a row without landing? That what I'm trying and it tough but doable with the CP Pro. I find after 3-4 mins I need a break and let her down. Ron

Dude,
rest when you need to rest. Helis are stressful. If you can do 3 or 4 minutes without crashing you're fine. Continuing for another 10 minutes is a test of endurance, not skill. The more you do this, the less stressful it becomes. Have fun.

if you're talking about radd's, then no it really doesn't =) basically just like aerodave said. If you want to fly more than one pack at a time then you've really got to watch the temps of things because you could over heat something. What I usually do is let it rest for the amount that I flew it for.

good luck with your heli and learning to fly it =) just fly it with whatever you're comfortable with =)

Darticus,

I agree with both Mrsamm and Aero Dave, it's not an endurance test. It's suppose to be fun. If 3 or 4 minutes is all you can do, that's fine. As mentioned, the better you get the less stressful on the old brain and you'll be able to fly for 10 or 15 minutes at a time. I'd guaranty, that right now, if you tried to fly for 45 minutes non-stop, your brain would burn up before the motors.

Just take your time and take a break every so often, just have fun with the heli..
