I'm working on a Litchi mission that will require quite a bit of distance. The rule of thumb I've read is to try to keep your Litchi missions around 15 minutes (round trip) to get back with enough juice to have a safe and stress-free landing. The default cruising speed (30km/h or whatever it is) gives me an estimated 21 minute round trip, definitely too risky of a flight in my opinion. If I up the speed to the maximum of 54km/h, I can make it back in 13 minutes.
Will increasing my speed that much cause my battery to die quicker? Would a 13 minute flight at 54km/h (still significantly slower than Sport Mode) drain the battery and make this flight risky?
(I'm strictly asking about battery level management .. or "fuel economy")
