One of today's flights was spent cruising for the whole flight. This video is only really meant as documentation of this silly act and, to protect your sanity, should not be watched in whole.

The current draw was just 15 A at this throttle setting and it was a very boring flight. I estimate the average speed to be 80-90 km/h during the circuits due to the amount of time it spent flying along the 120 m field. I had plenty of juice left in the batteries for more circuits but let's face it; This was enough. The flight lasted about 16 minutes from take off run to post landing. My transmitter counted 16,5 minutes of throttle use (including taxi).
