Walkera Helicopter

What is the charge time on a 3.7V 400mAh Lipo battery for an RC helicopter?

I just bought a micro Walkera 4#3b RC helicopter and a Walkera LAMA 2-1. I was curious to know how long a 3.7V 400mAh Lipo battery takes to fully charge up?

Depending on how much you drained your li-po battery, will vary on the charge time. I hope you do not drain the battery all the way down because if the battery is below 3.7 Volts, then you could risk blowing up the battery, or damaging it. But typically it takes about 45 minutes to 1 hour to charge the battery (1 cell batteries do not require balancing).
You have a li-po battery, and the charger should come with a indicator that has a red light indicating its charging and a green light that turns on when it is finished charging. Not having an automatic cut off charge is dangerous and could result in a fire. Refer to the manual if you still have it. I recall testing the Walkera product, and its suppose to have a light indicator. If not, run the helicopter for about 7 minutes (average tested flight time) and then charge it for about 45 minutes.

rc Walkera DF36 helicopter???

Hi, i was going to get a 6ch walkera df36 eletric helicopter of ebay. Does anyone have one, and if so are they any good?
I have never flown a rc helicopter before but i can fly 4ch rc plane. Do i have to get someone to train me or can i learn myself? Also will 6ch and 4ch make a difference to me if i am learning how to fly one?
Many thanks,
Dan

If you could fly a 4channel plane, you could fly a helicopter. The difference is just the helicopter could stay in one place. Also, that helicopter is pretty decent. I recall someone at a park flying meet have one. It flew very well. The 6 channel and 4 channel will not make a difference. 5 channels is all you really need. I never used a 6 channel before, but the 4 channels are for the control, 5th channel for the heading lock gyro, and 6 is for navigation lights or whatever you want. You learn the same way you fly a plane, unless of course you are lying about it, which I hope you are not. If you never flew before, purchasing this helicopter will be a big mistake. You can learn on your own if you flew a plane before. Be sure to purchase training gears, and fly a few inches off the ground and in a open space. If you have any more questions, just message me.
