Over the past few months I have been struggling to understand why (identical) test flights are lasting only 5-12 minutes (ave times overall are around

Part of the question seems to be missing. ave times overall are around What?

I really do not understand the question. Are you asking how come your batteries will not take a charge the way they use to? Or How come your flight times are shorter? I balance charge my batteries on the way out. I put them in "storage" if I am not going to use them for a while.

The longer I have used them has been on transatlantic flights and they have never died on me, so I guess they go 9 to 10 hours at least.

The whole reason I bought 2 helo's is because of your issue. I don't like waiting either, you can have 4 of these bad boys cheaper than what some RC's cost. I got this one and a MJX F45. The two together give you plenty of flying time...but me, I had to go one up and bought the V912 to throw in the mix. When i get done with all 3, I come back inside and run my 4 "mini" helo's. 1 Nine Eagle and 3 V911's. About an 1 and half hours or 2....depending. Plenty of fly time...and I'm still WAY under the price of an Align T-Rex.

The response time on mine varies, from immediately to a couple minutes. I am not sure why it differs. But now that you asked I am going to ask them.

Maybe 15 or 20 minutes. I can't say we really know for sure since it crashed after the 2nd or 3rd time we tried to fly it and now needs to be fixed.

I've never had that problem, we put a lot of miles on our co-pilot. Maybe it's a defect?

I've been getting between 10 and 12 minutes depending on wind conditions and how actively you fly it.

Just as frustrated as you, recently I almost had an accident driving at night, it kept telling me I have half a mile to go, and suddenly the right was 2 seconds away.I had to cross 3 lanes of traffic like the movies otherwise we would have added 30 minutes and missed our flight.Not too happy right now. the sound just follows the software so is also not reliable.

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

I have been getting around 11-12 mins flight time. The battery size is limited by the size of the battery compartment. I don't think a larger battery will fit without modifying the hull.

I have not flown mine in a few months but if i remember right 10-15 min. And when it dies it cuts out qiuck with little warning and will drop like a rock! Still fun to fly and pretty rugged.

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

I agree - most of these relatively inexpensive indoor flyers have very poor navigational properties and do not respond as they should especially with respect to trimming navigating whilst airborne. Vendors should not offer such poor quality products for sale. Even when they operate OK at first, they do not last - maybe only for a few flights- days.

The GPS keeps it in basic control , it doesn't tell you . The time is @ 8-10 empty , but if ya put a camera on-any extra weight reduces the flight time.

5 to 10 minutes of flying timeif you're lucky some people only get 2 to 3 minutes and anywhere from 45 to 60 minutes for it to charge

In terms of duration of flight - about the same, provided appropriate charging sequence is followed.

This thing can only fly for 5 to 10 minutes before the battery issues a warning at 20% and it automatically comes down to the ground. Therefore any video would stop after a few minutes, as well. If you only took video and never flew it, it would go for much longer!
