[NSRCA-discussion] Zippy 5S pack weight findings

[mike mueller]

 I think power consumtion is very much tied to flying styles. I can tell you for almost certainty that a wide open large flight style uses over 3500. Those who fly smaller and tighter consume less.
 Also warm weather and windy conditions tend to add to the overall consumption on average.
 I adjust my throttle curve when I start going over the 3600 mil per flight number. I like power and I can not lie.

My Contra/Neu looks consistent at around 3400 per flight so far.

Hi Ron,

Consumption with this set up is around 100-200 higher.  I know that I fly a little bigger than average and that could be one reason the other reason is power management.  Very interested than other share their experience.

I was getting the newest set ready to use and noticed they seemed heavier than the older packs.  I compared them, and found the new packs to be made up of slightly thicker cells and the wires were heavier gauge. I weighed them all, and these are the results:
