Am I Missing Something?

I've been very happy with the performance of my 3 cell 1320 TP which I paid $50 for. But I needed another pack for when that one is charging so I spent $80 on a 2100 mah 3 cell thinking I would get even more performance. After 10 minutes of flying (my radio has a timer), my voltmeter reads about 11 volts on either pack.
Just what am I getting for the extra $30 that I spent? Not much, it seems.

Your bigger pack will stay at 11v longer; that is the nominal voltage of a 3s pack. You should be checking them under load (motor running wot) also....Jim

FOR YOUR 30 BUCKS YOU SHOULD GET AN EXTRA 5 MIN OF FLIGHT TIME.I MADE THE SWITCH FROM 1320 TO 2100 AND AM VERY PLEASED WITH LONGER FLIGHTS.
