Bob:
<br>Interesting about current consumption. I can fly 3 times through
the Intermediate pattern, using about 16 oz. of a 24 oz tank, and, after
2 flights, the battery takes 240 mils. Pretty close to what you have
stated for your flying. Again, my airplane only.

<blockquote TYPE=CITE>One thing to keep in mind is "flight" can mean different
things to different people. To some, a flight is two times through the
masters sequence with a some additional work on a manuever or two. To someone
else (like me) a flight is once through the Advanced sequence with work
on a couple of manuvers. My typical consumption is 100mAH per flight, which
is a valid number only for me flying my airplane, with all equipment functioning
properly. With a 1650mAH NiMH pack I am comfortable flying 8 times, roughly
half of the pack's capacity. I measure the voltage between flights to gaurd
against some unknown such as a binding servo suddenly drawing more current.
I recommend you calculate your own "per flight battery consumption" and
not rely on other's observations.
