Flight time on the standard battery was about 8 minutes.
I've also bought a couple of upgraded batteries and they last about 12 minutes each.

This was pushing it a bit, and I was letting them hover out until the thing did it's auto land.
So I would say for safety sake fly them for 6 and 10 minutes then bring them back and land them yourself

I'm going to need some practice before I get adventurous with it, it's very easy to fly but I need to build my confidence in it first

the GPS return to home feature needs to prove it's self to me before I trust it fully!

As for the beer, your both more than welcome. unfortunately with the cost of fuel these days this is about the only flying I can afford at the moment...

    Very cool! Drones are getting popular in agriculture for field scouting and just taking wicked pictures and video.
