Alright guys, went to the field today to fly, so I fgure that I would charge before I left home. I use the 1010 C charger and 10S 3850 batts. To my horror, when I was charging the first set I put 3700[:@] back in the pack. I did not push the motor at all and when though the Advanced sequence once and landed. What the Hell. I am sure my flying style is not that hard on the Batts, any thoughts on my dilemna? I am very dissapointed with this result. Still went and flew, and the batts seem to do fine.
Sounds in the ball park.
That's about what I was getting last year flying the advanced sequence with my Brio.
AXI 5330/18 (not the F3A version)
APC 15.75X13 3 blade
CC 110HV
TP5300 10s
10.9 lbs

Edit: I went back over my notes and see that I typically use 3300-4000 on 8 minute practice flights and 2400-3000 on 6 minute contest flights, depending on the amount of wind and pilot excitement level. So yes, perhaps you might be leaning on the throttle a bit too much. On my Brio, at least, there seems to be a sweet spot where you can keep the momentum going, but reserving full throttle only for uplines. The last 1/4 throttle seems to make a big difference on battery temps/consumption but little difference on speed.
