Re: Battery time ?

You need to supply more detail?

how old is the battery?
do you discharge it completely after use before recharging?
do you have a bad servo?
what gyro are you using?
is the battery Ni Cad?


be aware....maybe you are.....that a failing battery will crash your heli.....or cause it to go crazy before it hits something or someone.

I wouldnt fly the heli untill you get this sorted....

Do supply more detail though

Re: Battery time ?

I used a 4.8 battery and only got one flight out of it, so i moved to 6.0v but if u move to 6v you need a 5.4 volt reg or it can burn up servos. 6.0 @2300mah gives me 4 3d fights. venture 50
