But even with dual 3250 lipos on the receiver after 4 flights they are down to 57% as well. This plane seems to use a lot of battery. I suspect because the surfaces aren’t the most free moving and the servos are working hard.

I run the same RX batts in my Diablo and can get 6 flights easy and be around 60%.
why don't you jump upto a couple of 5000 mah lipos.
