How long does it fly?

Not long. Maybe a few minutes. Even fully charged. I bought this for my 10 year old step son for Christmas. It lasted about a week before he broke the landing feet off of it and hasn't played with it since.

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.

save your money. soon as you give it a hard bump on the ground parts come off

It has a long battery life my son who is 10 really enjoys flying it especially at night with all the lights on it.Great purchase!

Unfortunately, we just had a chance to try to fly it and it simply doesn't work. When we first received it, it was missing the battery charger. They did send us one, but since then the helicopter has not worked.

on a 45 to 50 minute charge you can fly the copter 15 to 20 minutes depending on how many different manuevers you make.

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.

The average flight time is based on the mAh of the battery and the flying habits of the individual person. On average what i have seen is approximately 7-10 minutes. As far as the go pro they can handle various heights and depths. Did you see the person do the longest free fall. Look it up on u tube. That was a go pro if I remember right.

As I remember the flight time was about 4 to 5 minutes. Charging was about 45 minutes depending how depleted the battery was. Instructions said to remove the battery before charging. This what destroyed my copter. The power wires broke on the circuit board while removing the battery. It lasted about 5 removals and reinstall action of the battery. In other words be careful.

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.

I would agree with Greg C. It seems longer when you flying around, but 10 minutes ish.... before it needs to land.

I get about 4-6 hours. It's lasted me entire flights from NYC to LA with no issues.

Sorry, not exactly sure as we just got it and have only flown it a few minutes at a time.

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.

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.

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

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.

It flies for about ten minutes. Takes about a half hour to charge, and I never saw it do video as it was a gift.

You don't want it to go to far, as it needs to be seen to be controlled. How long it stays airborne depends on weather conditions. I usually fly for about 10-12 minutes in calm air,but I have seen flights over 30 minutes if there are any air currents to lift the plane without using the electric motor.

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.

The manual states approximately eight minutes. HOWEVER, you then have to charge the battery for an hour. The ideal place to fly this is an open field, a park of sorts. In my case that would be a ten minute drive. I am not going to make a 20 minute round trip for less than 10 minutes of flying time. It's going back from where it was purchased.

I don't have a definite answer for you- but I can say that we took it on a 5.5 hour flight using it on and off throughout the flight and the battery lasted the whole time.
