Happy to help! Range estimates are, after all, estimates, and there's a lot of variables that go into calculating them, many of which can change several times a day! After a while, you'll get a feel for how far you can roam until you have to RTB or risk empty fuel tanks.

Welcome aboard, and SINK 'EM ALL!!!!

Figured out my charge batteries button was staying on, it would charge to 99% then just stay there all the way across the pacific and run me out of fuel. Not sure what was causing it manually clicking it off works fine but definitly something to watch out for.

It's an old bug, and one that has never been solved. You just have to remember it's there and keep an eye on it.

Strange, I never experience that. I thought this only occured when you had damage to the batteries.
