Yeah, for a second or so.

Actually, significantly longer. My model helicopter averages about 10
amps in flight and gets about 15 minutes run time off a LiPoly battery
that's half the size of a pack of cigarettes. A LiPoly twice the size
can probably sustain 50 amps for about 6 minutes; you're orders of
magnitude off in your estimate.

Tell you what, put a 54 amp load on the battery you started talking
about, not one twice the size you drifted to, then get back to me
with how long it lasts.
