I flight 4 minuts and I need 10 minute more of hovering around for discharge my battery!!!
I can flight 3-4 minutes and then the heli starts to hover around witrhout lift of th ground during almost 8 minute more untill battrey is discharged.
Few days ago i was flying almost 8 minutes and then started the hovering around but now only 3-4 minutes. Is the basttery or the mixer board.
thx for the help.

bcnbignose,
You might have one bad cell in your pack that is dumping immediately. The rest of the run time is from the remaining good cells.
Just a possibility.

You have to take the pack apart and check voltage at each cell.

You can also test it with your charger if it has a discharge feature.
What I do is place a .1 amp load on the battery and watch the voltage. If it declines 1 volt or more in the first few minutes, then stays relatively steady for the remainder of the charge, then there is certainly a dead cell.
