Yeah, that's perfectly normal for two helis to be VERY far off like that. Just minor differences here and there can make one fly longer, while another one flies shorter times.

For anybody else reading this that doesn't understand why you put voltmeters in parallel, they're designed with a high internal resistance for the meter movement because of how the said movements are designed. Ammeters go directly in the circuit, since they have very low internal resistances. Putting a voltmeter in series creates practicallly an open circuit, while putting an ammeter in parallel creates pracically a short circuit.

Ohmmeters are different, since they have to have their own internal battery to measure resistances, and because of that you have to eliminate whatever you're taking a reading of from the rest of the circuit and take a reading in series.

There's a number of places to check voltages for a number of problems, and I'm sure there's a reason to check acoss the charge point, but what exactly is the problem you're having that you think you need to check voltages and stuff? There isn't really that many problems where you have to check voltages and things like that.

Going directly across the charge port would not give you a reading, because voltmeters are designed to go in parallel to the circuit element you're reading the voltage across.
