Wind matters

Had a good demonstration on the effects of wind on battery power. With about a 25 mph wind I recorded about a 25% drop in flight times. I was flying the bird not just hovering. Got to remember to allow for that if you are flying downwind a distance away. Coming back when the wind is up like that on a low battery would be a recipe for disaster.

Pretty zippy with the wind at your tail though[emoji3]

Yes but I guarantee you won't zip back. Kinda like what goes up must come down. lol
