Ya I thought I would see more of the throttling but I guess not. Next thing is to setup the mag pickup to record rpm...might be a little more enlightening than the current I may try one day to correlate the spikes with each manuver and see exactly what is going on in each one

Whats also interesting is you can see the break consuming current from the batteries (or at least I think its the break doing it)...Schulze controller with proportional breaking. After I throttle back you can see a fairly steady increase in current as the controller is breaking harder with increasing speed (to about 4A or so)...then a rapid drop off back to zero as I throttle up and switch from breaking to power and then the current spikes up when the motor spools back up.

Packs, so far they seem to be holding up well....if I remember right the wattmeter numbers fresh off the charger gave similar voltages at similar loads when the packs were new. I have a couple of new packs coming soon so I can gather some in flight numbers of new vs. old and that should be a good indication how well they are holding up.
