450 Flying Time

[John Baloo]

Hi All,
What would be considered the normal flight of a battery pack with something like a 450 helicopter, 5, 7, 10 or more minutes
not being used to do stunts just general flying ?
I know specific setups would differ but just as a general guide, with my little coax I get about 7 -10 mins roughly.
Thanks
John

I would set it to 5mins and 30 seconds.. bring it down.. and recharge the battery. See if you used more than 80 percent of the total battery amperage. if you didnt increase with 30 second increments till you do.. dont go over that thats for a 450 size bird. bigger birds.. start off smaller like 3 mins..

If your just hovering and training in Normal mode you can get up to 9 minutes! BUT, do like Gaba said to be on the safe side.

You actually use more power hovering than flying around. So you'll get more time once you get into forward flight. Once you get into 3D then the time will drop back down dramatically.
