First off I have not flown a heli in over three years. I was flying a caliber 30 and a voyager 50 but decided to start golfing instead of flying and sold them.
I worked with the stock gyro with this heli but couldn't get the tail wobble to my liking so I changed the gyro to a gy401/s9254 combo and wow what a difference it flies and tracks great. I was a little lery of using a full size servo on the tail but it did not seem to hender performance much if any.
In E-Flights defense I didn't give the stock gyro much of a chance because I already had two gy401 combos laying around from my old helis.
This little heli flies well now and is very enjoyable, I love the fact that I can take it anywhere and let-er-go; no mess, no noise, no smoke, and best of all no clean-up when finished; I just put it back on the shelf.
So far I'm just flying circuits because I'm a little rusty and I have not yet take it to a proper flying area where I have plenty of mistake room in idle up.
I'm flying for around seven minutes just doing casual flying, how long can I expect in idle up?

5 mins seems to be the best all around flight time. The battery doesn't over discharge, the re-charge times aren't so bad, and the ESC doesn't get too hot.

Shhh, don't tell the wife.

I've got 4.20 on my timer. During more agressive maneuvers in idle upI had the thing do it's drastic power drop at the end of the battery thing. It almost caused a crash for it was basically an autorotation from that point on, the motor has almost 0 power at that point. This happend a couple times around 5min so I took it down a notch.

with 2 ears and 1 mouth you should listen twice as much as you talk
