| Hi daggit
I think thats the advanatge of Lipo's.
You should be able to easily get a 20 min flight with a joker, break that down to 3 x 6/7 min flights. And thats a conservative estimate.
Two packs and you have enough for 6 6/7 min flights, should be enough.
I understand LIPO's can be topped up as well, cool if you have to travel to to your next shoot.
I have been using glo as you know, I rarely do a full tank on a shoot, sometimes not even half a tank, I get about 14 mins on the sceadu so thats plenty of time.
I am not that busy either, most I've had is 2 shots in a day (Part time you see) so the LIPO's should suffice, is business picks up, another set of LIPO's will be purchased, giving me over an hours flight time.
The most important thing to remember is whe the electric is on the ground, it's not sucking juice out of the battery, compare this to a glo, and it sits there ticking over whilst your adjusting the camera, or whatever. Set the timer on the Tx and fly !!
I am really looking forward to moving over to electric, I'm not the busiest of guys, but can't wait to have a gorgeous looking heli, well engineered heli but more importantly, one thats clean, vibe free, no more oil residue !!!!!
