Efficiency episode idea

A bit of a challenge - take 2 identical 2S or 3S batteries - winner is the one who gets the longest flight time. Perhaps a restriction on wingspan to stop infinite gliding - take off from the ground, 2 sheets of foamboard maximum, minimum weight etc.

Either set the ESC or a battery alarm for 80%, after which, no motor use.

What do you think?

I'd like to see the same thing but with quads.
Same platform, controller, battery, escs etc, but any choice of prop and motors. Fly the competing quads around a fixed course to even out flight patterns and see what lasts the longest.
