[QUOTE="Andre Levite, post: 85693, member: 10850"] If I need to go a great distance I'm gonna use Sport Mode to get there as quick as possible. I know your original post said to ignore the time factor but battery consumption is a function of flight time. Sport Mode is definitely "less efficient" because there is greater voltage to the motors and therefore greater load on battery. But I feel this is more than compensated by the dramatically shortened flight time. [B]Max speed in Sport Mode is 4-5 times faster than P-Mode. But I [I]strongly doubt[/I] SM uses 4-5 times the battery draw. [/B] That is my personal experience and observation but without knowing the exact voltages, power draw and duration I can't prove it. I don't have the data or the math skills :D [/QUOTE]
