Gets me through the intermediate with little reserve, but if I do have to go around, who orbits at full power? One turn of the pattern pretty much pushes the batteries to the limit with out going over. Thanks to the weight savings of the smaller batteries I don't have to go full throttle on some vertical maneuvers, like stall turns.
