Default increase flight time
hi there... newbie here...
I'm just wandering is there any optimal setup for a RC heli to increase the flight time?

Additional quesiton, whats the average flight time of an 450 RC heli?

thanks...

IMO the best way to increase flight time is to get more batteries.

You can also gear the heli down and reduce headspeed but stability and response will suffer.

I get about 6 minutes of aerobatic sport flying (flips, loops, rolls, piro's) on my 450.
