Aaaahhhh, yes it is the FUn package deal, I thought that batt pack looked suspect. I will try again with my new Powerex 8 cell pack and see if there is a difference. Thanks for the quick replys.

Ahhh that's better, just got 9 min on the powerex 8 cell pack, yup that Ikarus one is junk. "You hear that Ikarus, that batt pack you sold me with my new Fun Pic is junk. Why did you sell it with your helicopter if it won't do the job?" [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

Yeah, I go ripped off that 8 cell 600 mah battery. In the begining it couldn't even lift off the ground. Now it does but I only get about a minute out of GE and a few more in GE. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

9 minutes is a sweet flight time ThePitchedLink for a brushed motor on Ni-Mh cells! Add two Kokam 1200HD cells and that could easily double to over 20 minutes! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Oh great! I recently purchased a Fun Pic with the $1 deal. The receiver was bad, had to send it back, and waiting for the replacement. Now I hear the battery is junk!

Has anyone tested the capacity of the 8 cell 600 mAh battery? Does it live up to its specs? If so how can 100 mAh make such a big difference in the flight time, that is only about a 17% increase in capacity?

It doesn't take much to keep a Pic in GE. A little overweight, a little under powered, a little bind, etc, and/or a little of all and you have the picture.

It's not so much the pack's capacity as it is the ability to deliver the 3-5 amps required.
