Marty,

i use that little hangar 9 current meter on each servo during setup only to make sure there isn't any binding of the control surfaces throughout their travel.

now my Reaction 54 i haven't checked how much is put back in the battery (it has just one Duralite on the RX and i use the Duralite charger), i just got it a few weeks ago and last weekend was the first time i had to take it out and only got 6 flights on it but it has less servos and it only goes 7min with the left stick in the FUN position so i would expect it to use less mAh per flight then the Tornado with 10 servos and 10 min flight.
