<div class="">Check peak watts at the start of the flight....and after 1000 mah discharged....and 2000 mah discharged...etc. There is a difference. For our use, C rating may not work as one might expect. Given our ambient starting temp is lower than the temp where lipos are most efficient, a gradual increase in lipo temp can offset power loss as the pack discharges. Depending on ambient temp, discharge rate, effectiveness of cooling air, etc, higher C batteries may actually show a more pronounced drop in power.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Anyone want to guess what amount of power reduction (in terms of watts) the stock TT settings represent?</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div id="composer_signature" class=""><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" class=""><div style="font-size:85%;color:#575757" class="">Regards,</div><div style="font-size:85%;color:#575757" class=""><br class=""></div><div style="font-size:85%;color:#575757" class="">Dave</div><div style="font-size:85%;color:#575757" class=""><br class=""></div><div style="font-size:85%;color:#575757" class="">Please pardon any spelling errors or brevity.....Sent on a Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note® 3</div></div><br class=""><br class="">-------- Original message --------<br class="">From: cahochhalter via NSRCA-discussion <<a href="mailto:nsrca-discussion@lists.nsrca.org" class="">nsrca-discussion@lists.nsrca.org</a>> <br class="">Date: 06/19/2015 1:49 PM (GMT-05:00) <br class="">To: Ronald Van Putte <<a href="mailto:vanputter@gmail.com" class="">vanputter@gmail.com</a>>, General pattern discussion <<a href="mailto:nsrca-discussion@lists.nsrca.org" class="">nsrca-discussion@lists.nsrca.org</a>> <br class="">Subject: Re: [NSRCA-discussion] Throttle-Tech <br class=""><br class="">
