Probably 2 10 minute flights safely. Assuming no stalled servos or excessive drag on the controls you are probalby looking between 250 and 300 mah per flight. So maybe 3 but the time you push it......

Agree with Cuda here. Save your nerves and get a decent voltage checker fitted

You can get heli specific battery packs up to 3800mah and 6v that will do the job. Don't mess about with 1300mah.

Yes, i have bought some 2200 mAh batteries here in Norway now. Cant use 6 V battery cos I'm using a Futaba servo. Only 4.8 volt there.

Ok. Thanks for good advices and help.
