Well at least you get PV+ flight times, which is all I could hope for

**** I just got Rick Ashley-ed

OK did a quick comparison between inspire 1 with the T48 vs the T47 vs a PV+. here are the results: Steady hover, ~6 ft elevation, temperature ~38 C, sunny. PV+ From 95% to 28%: 14:12 T47 From 99% to 28%: 12:43 T48 From 99% to 28%: 15:34 T48 seems to give a 23% flight time increase with 30%...
