Default Interested in owning your own B-29?

I thought this was really cool.

But only 5-6min? Is that normally how long these last?

Well yeah I know you can recharge it. I just thought these would last longer in the air.

This is a toy, not a hobby level aircraft. If you get into the better equipment you can get MUCH longer flight times. I would bet this thing has no movable control surfaces.

Yeah I was thinking that. No movable control surfaces? So it will be a little harder to fly it into the garbage can?

These things seem to have an autopilot that will guide them right to the trash receptacle!

Even more interesting. So, you're saying with the "hobby" type RCs, you can have a longer flight time in addition to more maneuverability? So, what flight duration times are we talking? I thought six minutes was long as well.

Well it all depends how stingy you are with the throttle, but many planes can stay up for 15 minutes. I am usually tired of flying after 10 minutes or so.

Here is a link for you. Check out the Predator!
