How longe can you fly with one battery?

Depends on weather conditions. Windy weather requires more power and more power requires more battery. I would say the average time per battery is 12-15 minutes.

The instruction book says about 10 minutes per charge. I have only flown for approximately 8-9 minutes and have landed before running out of power. Never yet pushed it until the engine starts to sputter.

In my experience, flying circles at a few hundred feet and doing a couple landings, the battery lasts for about 4 minutes per 1000 mAH. The battery it comes with (3200 mAh) lasts around 12 minutes. A 4800 fits in the bay perfectly and goes up to around 20 minutes. A 6400 will fit but the door bows out. It'll still fly, though, and I get around 25 minutes.

15 or so minutes depending on how much power your giving it. 20 min mid 50 percent throttle. Pretty good and solid lipo battery.

Around 10 minutes. Most people have at lease 4 batteries for a plane like that they are cheap.Thanks Kevin

It probably made it up to 40 feet or so the one time we were able to fly it. Then I made the mistake of leaving it plugged in to charge overnight, and I apparently fried the battery. Apparently you are only supposed to charge it for 180 minutes max or else it destroys it ... which kinda sucks.

No problem with this battery. Only after 7 minutes flight you have to cool it down.

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.

I own 2 of these quads and each came with one flight battery. Given an average 8-12 minutes of flight, I did go out and buy a couple of additional batteries to permit sequential flights with charged batteries. Enjoy!!

Depends, brand to brand and given age/ cycles of the battery but generally 3-4 minutesis a good rule. Any longer and you risk battery failure and will crash.

I have used mine on 4 consecutive flights of between 7 and 8 hours each. It still had 1 bar left on the battery level indicator after the fourth sector.

about 10 - 12 min. with the stock battery. a 900 mah battery will get you about 35min. of flying.

well, I brought mine on a flight from USA to Brazil, however I did not hear that information concerning that restriction. Just to be on the safe side, you can remove the batteries and replace them for new ones when you get home ! regards

Yes, although you'll need a power source as the battery won't hold for the whole trip. Unless your flight is less than an hour. Sorry, we hated this device.

I have had the batteries last around 6 hours playing DVD'S... My friend says his lasts longer, I will not contest that. I have never tried to go beyond that time frame. Six hours on a plane is plenty of not moving around time for me... Hope this is helpful...

General rule of thumb is to fly for 7 or 8 minutes, then land & let the motor cool off. If you fly for the entire battery pack, the motors get too hot & burn up. Instead of replacing the motors with originals, you could convert to a brushless motor & get more power & flight time. MJX makes a plug & play version that will fly for almost 15 minutes on a larger battery with no components getting too hot or failing.

If battery is totally discharged May take 3-4 hours. But generally that is not the case. For most rides of up to 10 miles you only need about two hours.

It lasts about 12-15 minutes, line of sight as far as you can see. With the software and waypoint pads it can fly pretty damn far. comm distance is listed at 300 m, but I have flights as high as 450 plus. If you look at the battery it has two contacts one for the heli the other to operate the leds and such. 2200MAH-20c-11.1v.

Maybe. The issue is weight. Longer lasting batteries are heavier and cause flight issues. Better to have a few of the original type. They last 5 mins or so. Outside flight is great in little or no wind.

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.
