So I have an interesting Sport related question.
I realise sport mode has the potential of using more power due to the larger attitude angles allowed, but here's a poser for you.
You've already flown from A-to-B and on the return leg you realise that due to, say, a head wind, power levels are going to be tight.
Some guys say to drop into Sport mode and kick it home but has anyone ever actually sat down and figured out if cruising home in GPS mode at a lower power consumption is better or worse than ripping home in Sport mode?
You have to figure that the majority of power being consumed is to just have the thing in the air and a relatively small amount to move it so the power being expended to keep it airborne is significantly reduced by getting it home earlier.... or?
