Jim, your results are very similar to what I have found with the 11T vs the 12T. Basically, I find the 11T to be almost the same as an AXI 5330/F3A. Same amps and rpm during my tests comparing the two. Only difference is the DS is 2 oz lighter. With the higher rpm, you can also back off on the pitch for the 'calm' days and the amps and usage will go down. For really windy, strap on a 20x15 and 'hang on'. ;-) I still prefer the 12T because of the lower amp draw, I can still get plenty of speed out of the motor with more pitch.
