... I had not yet learned from a fellow member how to take a screenshot with my iPad, so I cannot state the actual numbers, including the temp of the aircraft at take-off. What I do recall is that my bare fingers on the sticks felt very cold.
Also, although it's true that I do use up some battery with my pre-flight checks, I never launch with less than 90% remaining
But if memory serves, I hadn't been in the air more than a few minutes -- and the remaining AC battery was well over 50% -- when a pop-up informed me that I had only 10% remaining.
Luckily and as always, I was only a coupe of meters distant from the aircraft's home point, and not very high either, but by the time I'd landed -- in less than a minute -- I was nevertheless down to 5%.
I was aware from the manual that cold weather is dangerous, but it had not occurred to me that 49F should be considered that cold.
I'm going to Search past posts to learn how to retrieve this a.m.'s flight log in an attempt to verify the data.
