In terms of long distance flying, which of the following would use more power?
A) ATTI Mode - this flies faster so you would reach your max destination quicker (say when FPV or Tx is lost) and therefore would be back home quicker too, but you would also have to maintain height with a constant push, all of which results in the motors spinning faster and using the battery quicker. Would this be offset with doing the distance quicker though?
B) GPS Mode - constant 30ish mph, takes longer, uses less battery though.
Do the two equal each other out?
