Good job Pat!
Question: Are those sensor vanes thick enough to print?

I'm hoping someone will whip up some decent fidelity Meteors for the Gripen in due time as well :DFreewing A-10 turbine conversion: http://fb.me/FreewingA10TurbineConversion

I realize flight times are very individual, but is my reasoning close to correct?
I’m flying cautiously with stock servos (my upgrades shipped today) at 1/2 power after a full power take-off. At 4.5 minutes, I am consistently consuming between 2500 mAh and 3000 mAh. I’ll use 3000 mAh to be conservative. A 4.5 min flight is 270 seconds which calculates to about 11 mAh / second for a consumption rate.
Several articles state that to maximize LiPo life, don’t consume more than about 60% (leave 40% in the tank).
I am running 6000 mAh packs. 60% = 3600 mAh. At the above consumption rate, this works out to about 54 seconds more than the 4.5 minutes I am flying if I don’t change my current style of flying.
3000/11= 273 seconds
3600/11= 327 seconds
or about 54 seconds longer being possible
Is my logic valid?
When my new servos arrive, my style will change. LOL
