    Hi Everyone I'm new to this forum, but i've been reading a few posts - lots of great info, and seems very friendly! I'm hoping you guys can help - I have a Droidworx CX4 with WKM FC - working well, nice and stable - a joy to fly. However i'm only getting about 4-6mins flight time. I've read on...
