Hi,
I'm a bit confused.There are literally dozens of posts on this forum about never taking off with less than a 100% battery charge. People with other kinds of malfunctions are blamed for taking off with 3 bars instead of 4, or with 91% or 88% battery power. Is this really a legit objection? Why can't someone takeoff and get a good 8 to 10 minutes of safe flying from an 88% battery charge? And yet several posts seem to indicate this is a wildly unsafe and crazy thing to do.
While I understand that a 100% battery charge is "ideal", I am often in the field with batteries charging on two car chargers, and lots of great photographic opportunities happening. I will, on occasion, fly before my battery has fully charged and I have not had issues. I won't do it at 2 bars or 50%, but why is it so awfully unadvisable to fly at 3 bars or when my reading is well above 80% if I just monitor my flight time closely?
