[QUOTE="Andre Levite, post: 85786, member: 10850"] Yes. That was our conclusion as well. Wide open throttle (WOT) is usually [I]beyond[/I] the the peak of a motor's efficiency on the power curve. The OP was asking "P-mode vs. Sport Mode for peak efficiency". But that is overly simplistic because each selection is actually a [B][I]range[/I][/B] of speeds and not a binary choice. Based on cumulative experience* and the default RTH speed chosen by DJI the peak efficiency appears to lie in Sport Mode just shy of WOT. When I manually RTH that's what has been working best. But I start RTH around 25% so it never gets that critical anyway. I leave "range tests" to braver souls like yourself. *your mileage may vary [/QUOTE]
