A battery is only expected to last 10-15 minutes in flight, but when you can’t really get off the ground the battery lasts longer than that. By “can’t really get off the ground,” I mean IT IS HARD TO FLY ONE OF THESE THINGS! Just getting the blades spinning and keeping the tail stable is an accomplishment. Some say that flying a helicopter is like balancing a ping-pong ball on top of a beach ball. I agree.
Luckily, there are online flight schools that help beginners without local mentors. The one that everyone I have talked to seems to suggest (and the one that I follow) is RADD’s School of Rotary Flight.

Today is my third day to hone my skills on the heli. To get the thing int he air seems almost impossible, but I did get a few seconds of sweet flight time.
More to come.
