What is the flying time when fully charged?

My flying time is 6 minutes per battery. I use a small timer and do not exceed that time. LiPo batteries cannot be overly discharged. If overly discharged, battery life will be greatly decreased.

I fly it using my DX9 which has a built in timer. I get between 7:30 and 7:50 per charge. The helicopter is designed to lose power and land when power reaches certain level. Do not try to fly it after this happens as you will over discharge the battery and damage it.

You I just tried it out yesterday to answer this question. Usually I have it plugged into my USB adapter, so it doesn't matter to me on battery life. I'd estimate about 12 hours on standard AA and 8 on rechargeable - but then it's slowed down enough to where you'll be seeing a difference in the amount of air it's pushing.

I think there are plenty of answers regarding stock setup (7-9 minutes depending on flight style). My experience with the stock phantom 1 (FC40) with 3D printed (lighter than bought) prop guards, 3D printed landing gear risers, a generic brushless gimbal with GoPro Hero3+ and a FatShark Predator v2 Camera+transmitter, I get around 4 minutes of actual flight time, this is about half hovering and half quick maneuvers, etc. I also tried doing dual battery, and it bumps up to about 7 minutes. I have 6 of these batteries and an IMAX B6 charger with a NEEWER XT60 Parallel Balance Charging Plate, which will charge 6 batteries from dead to full in about 2 hours.

It only uses 1 battery. Each battery will give you around 6-7 minutes of flying time.

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

Flying time is. Out the same as any rc helo around 10 min, charging time around 30 to 45 min

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.

battery powered bout 7 to 10 min of flying time let cool off for bout 10 min

Mine charge in under 15 mins. They take longer to charge than the stock battery but they last longer. They are also bigger, therefore heavier so the quadcopter flies a little more sluggish but really no big deal.

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.

We had received all accessories as advertised. However, you should be aware of the fly-to-charge ratio, which I did not see at the time of my purchase. Per every 30-45 minute charge, you will only get about 8 minutes of fly time.

I've been able to get 15 minutes or so out of it out of town. It depends on if you're having to make any adjustments to the flight controls pitch y'all roll to stabilize the flight. I usually let it charge 30 to 45 minutes between flights.One of the best things I did was contact the manufacturer and get a price list of extra parts and ordered a spare battery so that I could continue flying while one is charging.

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

I charge it for ~30 min and it fly for ~15 min.I recommend to buy the repair kit so it will last longer. My kids had their first damage after ~5 chargers and can still play with it today after ~15 charges. They are 5-9 years old and they crash it all the time.

I just received my red one todayI gotTwo5 minute flight times.It's absolutely one of the best I have bought.Sorry my first response didn't come out the way I said it.I hope the second response helps you!

It takes about an hour. I bought 3 of the single rotor models for my kids (ages 30-35...) and they fly MUCH longer without recharge for what it's worth. (about 10 minutes as opposed to losing power after 3-4 minutes)

When you buy your plane as Ready to Fly(RTF) it comes with a charger. You can purchase a charger separate that will charge several batteries at a time. You charge the battery on the charger(about 10 minutes). Then it plugs into the receiver on/in the plane to power it. For a foamie or backyard flyer I get 10 to 15 minutes flying times. I have the original battery and several extras. The charger is 4C cell powered so it can come to the field also.
