I run 2x 2200 mah packs... and after 4 flights, and some messing around on the ground... I only put 400 ma back into each pack at the end of the day.
200 mAh per flight??? what kind of flight time???? my Tornado is the smallest jet i've got, it has a single 2300 LiFe battery, it uses 350 ish per flight, there is no binding of any control surface and i don't bang the sticks around so i can't imagine a flight using half that.
KC, have you put a meter on the plane to see what the actual current draw is at idle and then when you peg all the control surfaces to max throw? I have put three flights on my reaction which works out to about fifteen minutes of flying and say another seven to eight minutes on the ground and put back about 300ma combined between the two batteries I have in the plane.
