I've had mine for about a week and it flies great! Got some LiPo batteries on order for better flight time and enough payload to add my wirelss video camera :)

without the special batteries, what kind does it take, and what is their life?

Needs 4 AA's for the Tx. Comes with an 8 cell 350 mah NiMh battery (good for about 3-5 minutes) and charger (about 1 hour re-charge) for the UFO. The LiPo battery upgrade will give 10-15 minutes flight time.

ok so what is the flight time? 5 minutes, then a 2 hour re-charge? or is it decent, like 20 min flight, 1 hour charge? (better ratio)

Needs a seperate power source to clean up the noise.

Got em off EBAY. Got mine when they still sold ones with sound, new ones don't have it. Mine are very similar to these.
