<div>Hi Ron,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I have been using inrunners. With Hacker C-50 flying the Abbra the average was around 3,400-3,600. Now I am flying the Gadious with contra and Neu F3a. 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. <BR></div>

<DIV>Interesting that you use only 2000 mah. I use at least 3200 mah. The average is over 3500 mah. Probably is just the Kansas winds. </DIV>
