What is the range and charge duration?

Not the first thing that comes to mind when one says it's an "electric beaver"

I guess that range is determined by the length of the power cable, minus weight and drag of same. Could be very complicated if a turn in excess of 45 degrees is required - and landing could be a real b*tch !!
Yeah, OK, I've got me coat .................
