what is about the average flight time for the trex and what battery are you using to get that flight time.

depends on gearing and flight ...MANY variables...

but with a 2070 or 2100mAh battery....
general flight.. learning, hovering, a bit of FF, with head speed around 2200 to 2400 rpm
about 10 minutes or maybe a scosh more....


hard 3D with head speeds in the 3000+ range...
about 5 minutes....

I am using the same batts in both of my v2s. I only get about 7 to 9 minutes flight time. [sm=shades_smile.gif]

LOTS of variables,,,, I like my head speed a bit faster so the heli is more responsive... so in general flight at a higher head speed... 8 minutes is normal....
when just starting out a slower head speed is OK... so you can get up to 10 +

but like mentioned, it is a trade.. faster head speed = a better flying trex = shorter run time

Higher head speeds give you more options if you need it.. I don't do much 3D just basics..

I also don't fly 3D. I fly scale. thanks for the info

I get about 5-7 minutes with 13T pinion @ about 3000 rpm. Lots of FFF, rolls, flips and inverted.
