Chuck at first I just limited to setup on the ground, but what happened was I had been playing with different firmware for the CC 85 HV and I flew once with the 1.23 and when I changed back to the 1.55 version of the firmware and forgot to reset the amps to my surprise it just didn't feel like it had enough power and it didn't, checking my amps after the flight I found that my amps was only 44 on the ground instead of the 60 and I only put back in 1700 mah so I reset to 60 and guess what my power was back. I think the best thing would and I haven't done it is to play with it in the air keep lowering the amps till you don't feel you have enough power then increase a little at a time, till you get the best of both worlds.
I could be wrong but I don't think the 10 pitch will be enough for all conditions, in a 20 or higher wind you'll need more speed to keep the plane stable. Keep us posted theres still much beta testing to do LOL.
I do feel that the 3700-3900 pack will be best for most to have a safety margin built in the 3300 was just a gut feeling to try and max out a system and loose the most weight I could.
Get a micro logger they show much that you'll never find with just ground testing and there cheap. and they hold enough info you don't need a laptop at the field.
