The motor is extremely efficient and I am running the 22x20 front and 22x22 rear. I use the props for all conditions whether it's calm or windy.
Robert, you are flying an Agenda, correct? I have the same setup on mine and consume on average 3300mah per flight with judicious throttle management with a Throttle Tech. I still like my Pletty powered Invitation better with a 21.5X13 2 blade or 19.5X13 3-blade Falcon prop over the Contra powered Agenda. The plane just feels too draggy and I just can't see the color scheme and wing planform as well as that on the Invitation. Plane is for sale. If ya can't see it, no sense flying it.
