Brenner in my opinion you'd be better to get the consumtion down to about 3600 for the Masters pattern. It's shorter this year.
This time of the year in our conditions I'd expect a tad less than what you'll need come warm weather and competition time. I know I don't have the Contra but my Axi F3A with a boatload of power is pulling about 3400 mils on a wide open fast flight at about 80 amps. Power in equals power out according to the great Jim Oddino. I thinkhe's right.
So what I'm asking is, do you need to be on the hairy edge of performance? I've found that strict adherence to the rule that uses less than 75% of the packs capacity makes for a happier and longer life on the lipos.
I've just started getting out myself. Dave has a head start on us and while I've yet to see him fly all reports are glowing. This season is going to be a blast and I look forward to watching your developement. Mike
