A:Answer Depending on wind conditions, how you fly, and whether you are in fast mode, the battery takes about 45 mins to an hour to charge and gives around 15 mins of flight. Fast mode will be a little less, around 8 minutes. Wind can also make the props work harder using more battery. If you are just taking pictures and mostly hovering it uses less battery than if you were doing flips and flying full speed. In short, you can count on between 8 - 15 minutes of flying. Hope that helps.
