Average Flight Time?
Newbie question.....
What is everyones typical flight duration before they set down for one reason or another? I know that fuel is the ulitmate limiting factor but do some people set down sooner? I'm on Realflight G2 and it seems like a 5 minute flight is eternity at least for a newbie. Is it just me? Will my stamina increase with experience?
Thanks in advance.

It vaires. Set it down when you are ready. Some flights will be shorter than others. Scare yourself good and its time to land.
I usually fly 12 to 14 minutes. Usually low on gas by then. Flights were a lot shorter when I was learning aerobatics.

I get about 30 minutes out of my Raptor 30 with the larger R50 tank and header tank. Having to go into the pits every 15 minutes to refuel was a bind.
