hot electronics are less efficient than cold, also, cold batteries are less willing to give up their amps, so you'll get a little less power at WOT than you would in warmer temps. The two factors could combine to reduce consumption by about 10%, yeah.<div>

I've been flying an E-power sport airplane and noticed that similar 10 min.<br>
flights in cool air (40 deg) consumes about 90% as many MAH it took last<br>
fall flying in 85-90 deg air. Does it really take more power flying in hot<br>
thin summer air, or am I dreaming.<br>
