You guys are talking about 2 completely different things.
Wayne is asking about flight setup,you are talking about flight timing.
Flight timing is critical to 2 factors, how long you say up there and how hi your throttle percentage is.
Stay up there to long at high throttle and see ya...
What you are doing is destroying the longevity of your batteries.
Fly all the time to well under 3.7 volts per cell and you might get 100 to 150 flights and your battery will be dead...
Fly all the time to 3.8 volts per cell and you will get 250 flights out of the battery... or more.
The figures I have used above are just ballpark examples, the fact of the matter is... Look after your batteries and they will look after you, abuse you batteries and guess what... they will abuse you.
Educated conservative flying will always prevail over the YEEEHAAA cowboy fly by night she'll be right approach.
And if anyone that flys electric aircraft cant see or understand that, they should seriously consider taking up flying I/C's, then they will really now when their time is up.
