Flight time for remote control helicopter?

So I finally buy this remote control helicopter that I have been wanting for a long time...when I finally get it opened and start to practice with it I find that it only has a 6-8 minute flight time per charge (also mentions this in the instruction manual)

I feel gypped

Is this standard among most or all remote control helicopter's or did I just buy a weak model?

    No, you're not gypped, this is an average flight time for most standard RC helicopters.

    Obviously the more advanced your model is, the more flight time you'll get per charge.

    But yes, 6-8 minutes is about average.

    That is a normal flight time...buy more batteries is my suggestion. I usually have 5-6 batteries charged and ready to go if I don't crash first!
