About how long is the battery life for the plane?
1977385
I got about 10 minutes of flying on the couple of outings we had. My charger has stopped working, so haven't been able to fly since late winter.

If I read the manual correctly, I think it said 5-1/2 to7-1/2 minutes of flying time. Watch It fly on your computer. Reminds me of Pylon racing. Keeps you on your toes! Good luck, Sammy.

It depends on the airline and stewardess.i use it fairly often , but one air Canada flight ( newest plane) made me take out the battery.

As I remember the flight time was about 4 to 5 minutes. Charging was about 45 minutes depending how depleted the battery was. Instructions said to remove the battery before charging. This what destroyed my copter. The power wires broke on the circuit board while removing the battery. It lasted about 5 removals and reinstall action of the battery. In other words be careful.

I get around 8 minutes of flying time with the standard batteries. Life shortens with dramatic maneuvers - rapid altitude, extreme banking and reversing, etc. Larger amp batteries are available, but I don't have any experience with them.

No problems for me yet. Others have said that the tail will burn out no matter what battery you use and you need to let it cool off for a couple minutes between flights.

I get about 6 to 7 minutes of flight time on my original and also on the spare battery. JT

Yes, the max battery life is about 5-7 minutes of flight time between charges. This is typical for these small helicopters.

I was able to use it on a 12 hour flight and around an hour driving connecting via bluetooth to a single device without recharging. 10 hours is a good estimate if you keep the lcd light setting on "momentary on" (where it lights for about 5 secs after pressing the power switch) but it could probably go longer. Its only drawback, although a very minor one is that the charging port in this model is the usb-a type, not usb-b which is used in a lot of smartphones today so you might have to bring multiple wires üEdit: lasted around 18 hours this time. A near 14 hour flight, turned it off for 2 days, no recharge and around 6 hours before battery finally quit I was able to use it on a 12 hour flight and around an hour driving connecting via bluetooth to a single device without recharging. 10 hours is a good estimate if you keep the lcd light setting on "momentary on" (where it lights for about 5 secs after pressing the power switch) but it could probably go longer.

Well the original battery gives you maybe 10 min on a good day and light flying with no stunts, the upgraded one I got gives you approx. 20 minutes I'd say. Haven't timed it, so I can't give an exact, but it is definitely a long enough flight time to be worth it.

Recharge is pretty quick, if not fully drained, you're back charged in 20-30 minutes. I would recommend getting a spare so you can continue to fly while recharging.

The drone carries two cameras, 1 front and one down. A fully charged (new) battery will allow a flight of approximately 15 to 20 minutes during average recommended atmospheric conditions.

This battery is an average battery. Depending on your flying habits you can get about 10 minutes flying time. I don't like to fly it constant from the time I take off until it's dead. I like to land every once in a while to allow the motor to cool a little. So by doing that, I can get close to 15 minutes total including down time. I imagine each battery is a little different as to how much actual time each battery will last. That's why I have more than one battery. It makes the trip to the park last longer

It kind of depends on how much maneuvering your doing. Also, one should not drain a Li-polymer battery more than 20%. Voltage starts out around 4.18-4.20V and I try to not let them drop below 3.7V (that's unloaded voltage at end of flight). With that said, I get anywhere from 5-8min of flight time. I highly recommend extra batteries and the A/C adapter for the charger.

close to 5-6 hours, depend on, with bluetooth is on, if you using usb and so on...i have no idea how they say 9 hours, maybe without internet an no brightness...but you can watch 2 movies at plane pretty easy...i did.

Kristie I got it for my husband. I think a charge lasts about 7 minutes and it takes about 30 minutes to charge it up. It is a good little copter. I would definitely purchase this again!

Comes with a charger.Battery is pre-charged. You get about 10-15 minutes of flying time off it

The battery lasts about 10 minutes depending on how you fly. Hovering takes a lot less power than hammering the throttle. I have gotten more time by getting it in the air for photos and moving it slowly. As far as distance, you can fly it until you almost can't see it so you won't have a problem with distance.
