Battery question

[Bob Kane]

# safe flights  = too many - one.  
 
Seriously, I would check the voltage after each flight with voltmeter that puts a load on the pack. You own testing suggests you could fly three additional flights and still have a 380mAH reserve, assuming the flights are consistant in manuever content and duration. I would also cycle the pack to insure it delivers 1100mAH.

Just flying my first ship with 4 digital servos. Power is supplied by a
standard Nicad, 1100 mah, battery.
After 3 flights the other day it took 361ma to refill it
How mych reserve did I have ?
Used an average of 120 ma per flight.
How many flights can I SAFELY get on that 1100 mah pack?
