Default Question: Hover time

Hi

I'm running a Century Hawk 3 with an MDS 38H engine.

On a full tank of fuel, I am getting 18 minutes airtime (mainly hovering plus a few full power climb outs). Using CoolPower 15%. No landings.

Is this about right or am I slightly lean?

On the "touch test" my finger burns after about 2-3 seconds, so I think its ok.

My headspeed is 1500 rpm, standard blades.

Any comparisons would be welcome

Sounds about right...you'll need to bump up the head speed when it's time for FF.
