That is a bit of a slow charging rate, agreed. I normally charge at 1-2C so the battery is fully charged in < 30 minutes.
7 minutes flight time is about average for most flying craft with normal sized batteries to be honest, until we get lightweight compact nuclear power systems.

I think 'normal' helicopters do a little better than multicopters. With the T-rex 550 I could fly 10 minutes. With half symetric blades and a lower headspeed even something around 14 minutes is possible.

Agreed, my T-rex 550 can manage similar flight times, not when doing 3D though. 
I could also strap a 20000mah 3s Lipo to my 600 size quad frame and get 30+ minutes though if required.
Have you ever tried 250 racing quads with FPV? Great fun! Also the most rapidly expanding aspect of the hobby.

No, but FPV on the T-Rex and then making some flight videos of all the landscapes you can reach, from the mountains to flying past ships going out to sea.

It's just a weak charger. I charge my 5000mAh 6s Lipos with a current of 5A in about 50 minutes.

One main rotor, one vertical tail rotor. That's all you need, just as Igor Sikorsky built it.

Don't get me wrong I fly "normal" rotary wing aircraft too, but I do think if Igor Sikorsky had access to clever multi-rotor electronics he may well have done things differently.
I also think NOTAR helicopters are a great invention, so only a main rotor.

Hi,
This time it's not language, code formatting etc. It the full stop '.' and how many spaces should be left after them. I say one as the Word Processor will automatically pad the space, the typist (who learned when Dinosaurs and Manual Type writers rules the earth, Imperial 66 (a copy of an IBM...)). It's a hole I have been down many times, Just wondering if anyone else has!

That's exactly why I love machine language. Every time a style Nazi shows up, I ask him which part of hexadecimal he did not understand.

You missed a comma before "etc".

I bet the typist doesn't even know why he (or she) uses double spaces. Apparently it was down to early typists wanting to mimic the layout from type setters - who dropped the practice about 60 years ago. It's widely accepted practice, pretty much everywhere now, to use single spacing.

That I did not know! (Ha more ammo for next time!! )

such as spelling 'you' as 'U' ?
Practice makes perfect takes on a whole new meaning - but not a good one.
And, FWIW, one ought enjoy a pair of spaces not only after '.' but after ':', as well.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Still use the double space between sentences. Just makes it more readable. Only class from high school that was worth while. Personal Typing on an IBM Selectric.

It has been discussed on here before, I always type two spaces after a full stop cos I've been doing it so long it just happens, if I tried to put one it would probably be slower than putting the two. Put two into Code Project and one gets removed anyway.
Hmm, I wonder if it is the first or the second that gets removed.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

Removing teh first is clearly more efficient, as it's just a pointer increment!

As I noted in another post on this thread, don't forget the double space that comes after ':', as well !

I leave no spaces after the full stop. How else am I to access properties from an object?
On a serious note, I leave a single space after the full stop. Always have done so and have never heard of anyone making double spaces.

Might depend on the language, but in .Net languages white spaces don't matter in this case.
