This week I did some general flight testing of the Nova to confirm it’s CG location and to determine it’s general flight efficiency.
It consumed more amp-hours than the GeekStar did, however after further consideration I believe measuring efficiency “per hour” doesn’t make a whole lot of sense. Instead, a “amp hours per mile” would be more appropriate. In this case, I think the Nova would win out as it’s cruising speed at half throttle is easily 2 or 3 times faster than the GeekStar with the same throttle setting. More testing is indicated.
