Low flight times!!!

[Smithclan66]

I have purchased a BladeRunner for my son at Christmas and the flight times are now down to less than a min after one day of use.

The helicopter has the tail wires in the outside but does have a smooth throttle control, I intend to take it back to the shop ASAP as it appears that I have the older type of battery from the comments on this forum. The product seems great apart from the battery life that is unacceptable. Any hep would be appreciated. Thanks Steve

Update - I took my Bladerunner back along with 9 other people and the supplier to the shop agreed to take them all back, unfortunately they have been unable to get the replacement latter versions so I have accepted a refund........will get another hele later when I can get a new version.

I missed your original post, but yeah, it sounds like you got the bum battery version. They have since made another run of black BRs that have the good battery, but you can't tell which is in the package until you fly it unfortunately.

Smithclan66, are you saying that the shop took back "9" BRs ?

The shop owner must be afraid of you all (9 people). :D Last time I just brought another 2 guys when I want to get refund.
