| Hi Guys,
I am hoping I can get a general concensus on flight times for this size of helicopter. I currently have a slightly modified Blade Cp that gets approx 15-20 mins of flight time which includes general flying, hovering & aerobatics (rolls & loops).
I have had my Cp for a couple of years now and am thinking of upgrading to the next size but I really like the flight times I get with the Cp.
So, my question is if I can get anywhere close to 15-20 minutes with a 400 size helicopter?? I am a little bias for the Blade 400 due to the luck I have had with my Cp but would definitely be open to other brands.
I am more of a RTF guy but with a little coaching & help on a particular helicopter and setup I know I could build it. I have been building & flying R/C stuff since the early 80's but due to family and work now I don't have the time to be intimately involved with all things electric helicopters so that's where I would need some help with the education.
I also don't have the ability to pluck down $1000-$2000 so I'm probably limiting my options but unfortunately I just don't have a choice.
In the end, I might end up sticking with my Cp but before taking any chances on buying something I won't be happy with, I thought I would ask the experts here for the much needed help.
Thank you in advance,
Scott |
