How long is the flight time of a fully charged battery?
142300
Almost any helicopter will fly for between 5-7 minutes on a full charge. Rarely will anything that flies go longer than that. I have never seen any electric powered aircraft fly for 15-20 minutes as was stated in one response. I have a 350 qx that ghoes for 12 minutes but that is the exception. Co axial helis fly for 5-7 minutes.

3-5 minutes, for that reason I've ordered a few extra batteries which is important if you have kids watching or controlling.

Hi Huang,This is a hard question to answer because it depends on your weight; how fast you are driving; are you going uphill; downhill or on level surface; are you on gras, pavement, indoors, outdoors etc. The manufacturer rates them for 15 miles...but that's under ideal conditions with a new battery. I would expect at least 10 miles. The manufacturer rates the machine at a max speed of 5 mph. So at full speed you should get 3 hours of travel time. But most people will not travel a flat out 5 mph so my guess would be 5+ hours out per charge.George CallensMedidri

Playing time is about 25 minutes, and charging time about 4 hours. I think play time depends on whether you are at full throttle the whole time, and charge time would depend on how far the batteries are depleted.

the initial charge might take over an hour, but usually shorter, after initial charge....will depend on how long you fly it, and run battery down!

I never measured the real charge time because generally we'd just plug it in overnight, but the charge would generally last for a solid 90 minutes of ride-time, though as the battery wears you'll see a speed decrease earlier in that 90 minute timeline. I would guesstimate at about 45 minutes of ride-time for every 5 hours of charging or so, but that's just a rough calculation based on 2 years of ownership and observation.

To fully charge the battery when it has no battery left at all, it takes about 2 hours to get fully charged.

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.

Probably an hour for a full charge. I finally had to replace my battery because it would not hold a charge. Pull yours out and see if it is bulged in the middle. If so it is bad.

If the Leaf computer estimates a low range such as 15km remaining then it takes about 4 to 5 hours to bring it back to 100% charge. We charge at night when the electricity is cheaper. We often charge to 80% since this will extend the life of the battery. Good luck and consider the AeroVironment EV charger for purchase...it is a very good unit! Cheers Bill

Full charge in about an hour or at the most, 90 minutes. Charge lasts about 3 or 4 days.

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.

In my experience, a fully charged battery lasts 7 to 8 hours, depending on how loud you have it and how far from the base station it is.

Dan is pretty much correct in the time it takes to charge with the stock USB charger. But for the RUN time, it depends on how aggressively/conservatively it's flown. I tend to get between 5 and 8 minutes of flight time before the LEDs blink to warn of low battery voltage and the impending LVC. If you upgrade the transmitter to a spare X4 (version 2) transmitter (see my answer to the 2.4GHz interference and novice flying question), you'll have the ability to switch the LEDs off (and on again) to extend flight time even more (at the expense of being able to maintain orientation in all but the brightest of flight environments, since this vehicle is so small).

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

As stated below, 6 AA's. The actual flying car charges via a cord attached to the controller, the battery is internal. So you need nothing for the actual car itself. Takes about 20 mins (in my experience) to charge. Fresh batteries make that happen quicker. Flying/driving time seems to be about 8-12 mins. Hope this helps.

Charge times for me were in the 2 to 3 hour range and a good 15 minute flight time. It dosen't sound like much but surprising it feels alot longer than really is. I bought spare batteries at a cheap price and kept them charged. I would average 45 minute outings with 3 batteries. which was more than enough given we took extra helo's and made a day of it.

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.
