I was working close to home today and got home earlier than usual. It was a very nice day today so I deceided to head to the flying field and get you guys some post flight battery temps data. The ambient temp today was 50 deg. and maybe 3-5 mph winds. I flew the new Masters pattern. I flew it big and felt I flew it faster than I would like. My timer is set for 7 minutes and went off as I was entering the last maneuver on all 3 flights. Each pack was at 31% when I landed.

I have 2 sets of tray mounting rods set up in the plane because I have a couple lighter packs that needed to be moved up more.

I have also removed my battery labels because they are insulators that can trap heat inside the batteries. The batteries in these photos feel as hard now as they were when new and have an easy 30-50 flights a piece on them. I flew a lot last year but didn't log the flights. This year I am logging my flights and I already have 23 flights.
