Just wondering what kind of flight times you are getting with one of the good OS motor's , in just sport type flying and some mild 3D flying. I was looking at getting one of the EVO 50's a while back , then had made up my mind on going electric......but the dang flight times are to low for me. The t-rex 600 getting 4-6 minutes ......i can't even get warmed up by then. So i figure i'm going to nitro instead. Maybe a month or so , and i'll be picking up a new kit or a good used one. Dang heli bug has bit me hard this time.

8 to 10+ depeding on needle settings, head speed and whether or not you intend to fit a header tank (a good idea IMO)

About 9~10 with my Evo / Hyper 50 and a three ounce sub tank reserve. Needle settings make a huge difference but if you tune for milage you'd better fly mild or you'll overheat quick.

I could get up to 15 minutes out of my Shuttle with the old .32.

OK....that's what i was looking for. Like i said above , i was heading in the electric only heli's , but can't get myself to own a heli i can only fly for a few minutes and the cost of the batterie's are to much. Thanks guys.
