Default RE: E-Patternn Radio Power Consumption
ORIGINAL: DPappas_atwork

Hello All,
I have noticed that my Pattern testbed is consuming about 60% of the radio battery capacity, as compared to a similar setup wet-powered. My last few wet Pattern setups all consumed about 145 mAH per FAI practice flight. I am now seeing something more like 80 to 85 mAH. Dave Lockhart's first flights on his Pletty powered Abbra are following suit.

What are you all seeing for radio power consumption?

Hey Dean,

I am seeing about half that for 10 minute flights, around 40-50 mA, or about 1/3 of my glow setup.

Servos are Futaba, x2 9154's, x2 9650's, x1 9351....5.6V reg.
